«Le Matin» (Le Matin du Sahara et du Maghreb) is a popular French-language daily newspaper in Morocco with a national distribution. The newspaper was formed on November 1, 1971 on the basis of «Le Petit Marocain», which was published in Morocco since colonial times (1925). After the change of ownership, it was decided to create a new publication with a new name, although its content and editorial staff remained. So it can be called the very first Francophone newspaper in Morocco. Le Matin is now one of the most prominent representatives of the Francophone press in Morocco, published in French. The newspaper has an Arabic version that differs slightly from the original content.
