Lack of Media Involvement Raises Questions
The national and Marrakech sports media community found itself excluded from a press conference held today at a hotel in Marrakech. This event, which was purportedly organized as a press briefing, took place without any official invitations being sent to journalists, nor were they informed about the timing of the conference or its purpose. This absence of communication has sparked significant concerns regarding the approach adopted by the management of the Kawkab Marrakech Club, especially with the new football season on the horizon.
The failure to involve professional media in the preparation or invitation process has prompted widespread questioning about the transparency and communicative strategy of the club's administration. Fans of Kawkab Marrakech and the local public are eagerly seeking clarification on the latest developments concerning the team, highlighting the necessity for establishing clear communication channels with professional media outlets. Instead of utilizing the conference as a platform to provide information and answer pressing questions from the press, the event inadvertently alienated the sports media, raising a discussion about the respect institutions should accord to the professional media's role and its right to access information.
Implications for Institutional Communication
Through this oversight, the management of Kawkab Marrakech has placed itself under the first true test of its institutional communication practices at a time when the club urgently needs to foster trust with its supporters and various stakeholders. This misstep does not only risk deepening the uncertainties surrounding the management of the club's affairs but also raises critical questions about accountability. Who is responsible for this oversight, and who benefits from undermining the image of Kawkab Marrakech while distancing it from its professional sports media?
Given the rich history and significant legacy of Kawkab Marrakech, the club deserves a level of institutional communication that reflects its stature and prioritizes the club's public interest above all else. The need for structured and effective communication is more pressing than ever, as it serves not only to inform but also to reinforce the bond between the club and its passionate fanbase.
