About Us
Imagine wandering through the alleyways of an old medina, where every turn reveals a hidden story. every souk hums with layered conversations, and every ancient gate opens to new possibilities.
Who We Are?
We are a group of enthusiastic students passionate about new media studies, mass communication, and everything in between. We come from different academic backgrounds and universities, but our goal is the same – to make media studies more accessible, fun, and engaging for everyone. We want this site to be a meeting point for students around the world, where discussions about media theories, semiotics, and modern communication practices can thrive.

The Spirit of Digital Medina
A Storytelling Souq
Venture deeper into Digital Medina, and you’ll find our own souq, an online marketplace not just for goods, but for ideas. Just as artisans once lined the narrow alleyways with handcrafted treasures, we showcase multimedia storytelling, creative initiatives, and meaningful projects. Whether through film, photography, written narratives, or interactive experiences, we invite you to explore, contribute, and take a piece of the conversation with you.
Every medina was once surrounded by a protective sour, a sturdy wall that shielded its people and preserved their way of life. At Digital Medina, our content is that wall. It safeguards the depth, diversity, and richness of Moroccan culture, ensuring that its stories are told on our terms—not distorted by outside perceptions. We stand as a digital bastion against misrepresentation, emphasizing our communities' voices, values, and lived realities.
A Gathering of Minds and Voices
In the old medina, neighbors would gather in courtyards and street corners, sharing stories, debating ideas, and exchanging wisdom. We continue this tradition—digitally. Our platform is a community, a space where journalists, artists, thinkers, and everyday storytellers come together to reshape perspectives and amplify unheard voices.
