HIBAPRESS – Mohamed El Harouali
Recently, Moroccan journalist Mohamed Toufiq Abouzeid was elected as a member of the London Freelance Branch, affiliated with the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Britain and Ireland, for the year 2026.
This election came during the renewal of the union's structures, where Abouzeid gained the trust of journalists in the British capital. Abouzeid is pursuing his postgraduate studies at Goldsmiths, University of London, after obtaining a postgraduate certificate in journalism from Birkbeck College, London, last year, among a group of international journalists from America, Australia, and the United States.
The branch in which the Moroccan Abouzeid was elected is the largest and most influential within the established union, which was founded in 1907.
The presence of a Moroccan name within the 2026 office, alongside prominent British journalists, reflects the extent of integration and influence of Moroccan media professionals in the British journalistic landscape.
