In the 2025 Reporters Without Borders ranking, Morocco saw a slight improvement in the Press Freedom Index, moving from 129th to 120th place globally. Despite this progress, the media in Morocco continues to face significant challenges, particularly with the ongoing pressure on independent journalists and restrictions on freedom of expression, according to the report.
In its annual World Press Freedom Index, Reporters Without Borders criticized Morocco for the prosecutions brought against both journalists and citizen-journalists.
