History and profile

Al Muharrir was first published in December 1974. The daily was the organ of the Socialist Union of Popular Forces party.[1] [2] Therefore, it had a socialist leaning and oppositional stance.[3]

Omar Benjelloun served as the editor-in-chief of the paper who was assassinated on 18 December 1975.[4] Later Mustafa Karchawi assumed the post.[5] Mohammed Abed Al Jabri, a Moroccan critic and academic, was among the significant contributors of the paper from its start.[6] [7] Abdelkerim Mouti was another regular contributor.

Together with other opposition papers, including Al Alam and L'Opinion, Al Muharrir was frequently suspended during the mid-1970s.[8] The paper ceased publication in June 1981.[9] [10] It was succeeded by Al Ittihad Al Ichtiraki which was first published in May 1983.[9] [11]
