Ya Libnan (Arabic: يالبنان) Oh Lebanon, is a Lebanese media outlet that delivers English-language news from Beirut to an international audience. Ya Libnan was founded by volunteers in Lebanon immediately after the assassination of Rafik Hariri on February 14, 2005. Since its inception, Ya Libnan has transformed from a blog-style format maintained by 3 volunteers to an official news site that is supported by over 100 multi-national volunteers.

Media coverage of Ya Libnan

The Washington Post's Jefferson Morley states, "The New Media kid on the block is Ya Libnan".^[1] The site started as Web presence for the massive street demonstrations that took place after Hariri's assassination and has evolved into a daily news site with cosmopolitan liberal democratic politics."^[2]

Criticism of Ya Libnan

Critics of Ya Liban contend that its website is extremely biased and clearly advocates the view of one side. Material is always critical of Syria and provides no credible evidence to substantiate its reports. In one article published (titled: Aoun as Lebanon president or nothing says Syria's ally) on August 9, 2007, it claims that "Wahab according to many analysts is on Syrian and Iranian payroll as a trouble maker and many of his followers get paid monthly salary"^[3] Ya libnan has not provided any evidence for this.
