Hespress () is a Moroccan online news website, founded in February 2007. The website has translations available in Arabic, English, and French. It is one of the most visited Moroccan news websites.
== History == Hespress was founded by Hassan Guennouni and his brother Amine, a computer scientist, in February 2004. In the beginning, the two remained anonymous; Hassan initially wrote under the pseudonym Taha Hamdouchi. According to the co-founder, the name "Hespress" derives from the mythical Land of the Hesperides, sometimes said to be located in modern Morocco, and the English word "press." The website initially positioned itself as an alternative to traditional media, with articles written by bloggers around the world.
