Maghreb Insider publishes editorial content about North Africa, the Maghreb and the Sahel. This page explains the publication's ownership and editorial responsibility, how the site is funded and how commercial relationships are kept separate from editorial decisions.
Maghreb Insider began publishing in 2023 and has developed its regional coverage since then. In 2026, the publication entered a new phase under a renewed editorial structure while continuing its established focus on the Maghreb, North Africa and the Sahel.
Publisher and Owner
Maghreb Insider operates publicly under the Maghreb Insider name.
Bruce Maddy is the Founder, Director and Editor of Maghreb Insider and is responsible for the publication's current editorial direction.
Maghreb Insider traces its history to 2023, when the site began developing English-language coverage of Maghreb economics, business and geopolitics. During 2024 and 2025, its coverage expanded across a wider range of North African and Sahel subjects.
In 2026, Maghreb Insider was relaunched under a new editorial structure. The relaunch marked a new stage in the development of the publication, with more formal editorial standards, fact-checking procedures, corrections policies and publisher transparency while continuing the site's established regional focus.
Editorial Responsibility
Bruce Maddy is the Founder, Director and Editor of Maghreb Insider. Amal Obeidi and Rachid Ouaissa serve as Editors.
Editorial decisions are made under the responsibility of Maghreb Insider's editors and are separate from advertising or other commercial discussions. Decisions about whether to cover a subject, how to describe it, what evidence to use and what conclusions are supported by that evidence are editorial matters rather than commercial benefits.
Funding
Maghreb Insider's funding model may include advertising and other clearly identified commercial arrangements.
Google AdSense is planned for programmatic advertising but should not be considered active until it is implemented.
Sponsored content is not currently an active standard publishing format. Affiliate links are not currently used.
Current and planned commercial formats are identified separately so readers can distinguish active revenue sources from future plans.
Advertising and Commercial Independence
Advertising, sponsorship or paid visibility does not determine independent editorial conclusions.
Advertisers do not receive approval rights over unrelated independent editorial articles. A commercial relationship does not create a right to require favorable coverage, prevent evidence-based criticism or determine how an editorial issue is ranked or interpreted.
Rankings
Paid visibility does not determine editorial ranking position.
Rankings and comparisons are editorial products and remain distinguishable from any separately identified commercial visibility.
Conflicts of Interest
Editors and contributors should disclose relevant financial, commercial, professional or personal conflicts that could reasonably affect their editorial work.
Gifts, access, hospitality or commercial relationships should not determine editorial conclusions. Where a relationship is relevant to a reader's understanding of published material, that relationship should be disclosed appropriately.
Changes
If material ownership or funding arrangements change, Maghreb Insider will update this page and relevant policy pages so that the information available to readers reflects the publication's current structure and commercial model.
