About

The Beirut Journal reports on Lebanon and Lebanese affairs in Arabic and English.

Lebanese readers have no shortage of outlets. What is scarce is the ability to tell, at a glance, which of them is reporting and which is campaigning. The Journal is built for that problem: sourcing that is visible on the page, ownership that is not in question, and the same story reading the same way in both languages.

What we cover

Three beats, reported properly, rather than everything reported thinly.

  • Politics — parliament, cabinet, the municipalities, and the decisions that follow from them.
  • Economy — the banks, the currency, the budget, and the cost of all of it to an ordinary household.
  • News — what happened in Lebanon today, with the detail that makes it possible to judge for yourself.

Bylines

Reporting is published under the masthead as The Beirut Journal Editorial. Where an individual contributor’s name appears in future, it will be because that contributor chose to be named.
