Abstract: The study examines the state of investigative journalism in Morocco, identifying the causes of problems related to academic training on the one hand, and the challenges faced by investigative journalists in the practice of their work on the other. It aims to explore the factors that negatively affect the presence of investigative journalism in the Moroccan media landscape. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to the data collected through a questionnaire administered to a random sample of 103 journalists, graduates and students from media and journalism departments at Moroccan universities and institutes. The study found that investigative journalism in Morocco suffers from significant challenges related to political pressures and legal restrictions, which negatively affect journalists’ ability to conduct in-depth investigations. Additionally, not all journalism and media departments in Moroccan universities and institutes include investigative journalism in their training programmes; and when it is included, it is not considered a fundamental and independent subject. Weak academic training in investigative journalism is considered one of the main factors contributing to the weak presence of investigative journalists in the Moroccan media scene. Moreover, this training does not meet the requirements of professional investigative work or the needs of the media market. The study’s findings also revealed that a large proportion of the surveyed students and graduates are dissatisfied with the content of investigative journalism courses and the teaching methods. They prefer a focus on practical workshops that allow them to acquire professional skills and tools rather than concentrating on theoretical knowledge in academic lectures. Furthermore, Moroccan universities and institutes do not allocate sufficient time to teaching investigative journalism, nor do they provide students with the necessary resources (books, workshops, practical training), which contributes to a lack of skills needed for professional investigative work.
