Hocine Mezali (Arabic: حسين مزالي) (born in Bordj Menaïel on 5 March 1938) is an Algerian journalist and writer.
[10] In 1965, Mezali joined the daily El Moudjahid, a press organ launched that year which brought together some of the best French-speaking Algerian journalists of the time.
[11][12] Mezali preferred to cover lectures and debates led by leading figures in thought and dialectics in the 1960s and 1970s.
[21] When Horizons newspaper was launched on 1 October 1985, Mezali was appointed to supervise the society section of this French-speaking daily, several of whose journalists came from the editorial staff of El Moudjahid and Algérie-Actualité.
[22][23] After a brief stint in the daily Le Nouvel Hebdo, Mezali left after a disagreement over the newspaper's editorial positions.
