Le Réveil du Maroc

Le Réveil du Maroc was first published on July 14, 1883—Bastille Day—in honor of France. In response to critical coverage of the Makhzen (Moroccan governing authority) in Le Réveil du Maroc and other publications from Tangier, the Moroccan authorities attempted to suppress the press in Tangier, though these efforts were unsuccessful. When Lévy-Cohen died in 1888, Haïm Benchimol assumed control of the paper. == Editorial line ==

The editorial line of Le Réveil du Maroc has been described as supportive of French and Jewish interests and critical of the Makhzen. The newspaper also spoke out against antisemitism in the European community in Tangier. It responded to La France juive, an 1886 antisemitic publication by Édouard Drumont that attacked what it described as the "evil influence" of Jews and especially Benchimol on the French Legation in Tangier. Le Réveil du Maroc also criticized the Makhzen. In 1886, the Makhzen demanded the suppression of the European press in Tangier, though this was unsuccessful. == See also ==
