Summary/Abstract: Without a shadow of a doubt, the rise of digital media has revolutionised the information process at multiple levels. Nowadays, internet users can comment, criticise, and shape news in just a few clicks. In this dynamic environment, political caricature is reinventing itself on new media platforms, replacing traditional sketching with more advanced software. Interestingly, this form of expression is no longer exclusive to professional illustrators. Internet users have embraced it to express their views on political news in a playful and ironic tone. This paper aims to analyse this discourse, using parodies, satirical illustrations, and nicknames to criticize the political landscape in Morocco.
