In Moroccan vernacular Arabic, شوف (shūf) is the imperative of the verb شاف (shāf, "to look").[3] The company's name in Latin script is romanized according to French orthography.
History[]
The founder of the company, Driss Chahtane, said "The idea at the beginning was to present something new, as I saw that the readership of the written press was eroding. The transition was digital. At the time, newspapers used the digital but in a very traditional way."[2]
The media company publishes content with the potential to create "buzz."[2]
