Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.


How broadcasting journalist pay ranges in Morocco

A good way to think about salary in Morocco is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all broadcasting journalists in Morocco earn less than 240,500 MAD a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 172,400 MAD (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 294,700 MAD (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of broadcasting journalists sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 143,200 MAD. The highest stretch to 398,300 MAD, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Broadcasting journalist pay by experience in Morocco

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a broadcasting journalist in Morocco, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical broadcasting journalist salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    164,200 MAD
  • 2-5 Years
    +27% from previous
    208,600 MAD
  • 5-10 Years
    +31% from previous
    273,000 MAD
  • 10-15 Years

    +10% from previous
    359,900 MAD
  • 20+ Years
    +7% from previous
    383,300 MAD

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 31%. That is the point at which a broadcasting journalist typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.


Broadcasting journalist pay by education in Morocco

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving broadcasting journalist pay in Morocco. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Below is the average broadcasting journalist salary in Morocco broken down by the highest level of education a worker has completed.

Broadcasting journalist gender pay gap in Morocco

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Morocco is no exception. Male broadcasting journalists in Morocco earn an average of 275,200 MAD a year, while female broadcasting journalists earn around 251,500 MAD. That works out to a 9% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.
