Early history The first until 1908 . Under the French Protectorate from 1920, French titles such as "L’Echo du Maroc" and "la Vigie Marocaine" started to appear. They were followed by the launch of a press group called "Mas" which issued "Farmhouse" and the Daily Newspaper s "Le petit marocain" and "l'Echo du Maroc", although these titles continued to cater mainly to foreigners. Presently Moroccan Nationalist s such as Mohamed Al Ouazzani began to publish their own titles. In 1933 he founded "L'action du peuple", a weekly French language newspaper. Later, Abdekhalek Torres and Mohamed Bennouna issued two publications in Arabic in Tetouan "Al Salam" and "Al Hayat" respectively.
