Biography

With the fortune he inherited from his father, who in 1907 opened a branch of Banque lyonnaise in Morocco, Pierre Mas began his media empire in 1919 with the purchase of the major daily newspaper L'Echo Du Maroc.[1][2] On 1 January 1920 he founded le Petit Marocain in Casablanca. The following year, through a sale of shares, he came to control La Vigie Marocaine in Casablanca as well.[1] In 1929, he founded le Courrier du Maroc in Fes.[1] He then added to these la Dépêche marocaine in Tangier.[1] This media conglomerate came to be called Presse Mas.[3] He also founded l'Agence marocaine de publicité.[1]

He was put under house arrest in 1945 for his support of the Vichy regime.[1][4]

The year after the death of Pierre Mas, on 1 November 1971, the Moroccan authorities decided to suspend the publication of La Vigie Marocaine and le Petit Marocain.[4]
