Arabs Today launches the largest Arabic-language website offering objective, up-to-the-minute coverage of news, politics, entertainment, travel and sport – all from an Arab perspective in Beirut today Wednesday.
Editor in Chief Zaki Chehab leads a team of seasoned and award-winning specialist journalists based in the major cities of the world – from Kabul, Tehran, Islamabad and Beirut to London, Paris, Washington and New York – providing the latest on international events as they unfold.
Direct access to politicians and newsmakers from the world’s most important regions enables Arabs Today to bring its worldwide Arabic-speaking audience exclusive video and picture that add depth and context to the ever-changing headlines.
Even in its nascent stages, Arabs Today’s news team has broken news stories picked up by international media organisations. Among these is the recent news of the resignation of five female presenters from pan-Arab news channel Al Jazeera – a scoop for Arabs Today.
Zaki Chehab said:
“The Arab world spans many continents and cultures, but shares an insatiable appetite for objective news and current affairs that isn’t being catered for at the moment.
“I wanted to create a single site that brings news, culture and entertainment to life with a specific Arab point of view. There’s nothing else like it.”
Arabs Today combines hard news with reviews and reporting on current affairs from the Art world, Economy, Automobiles, Health, Environment and Interior Design. Arabs Today’s Entertainment news has a special focus on Arab pop stars and cultural icons.
