Al Akhbar (Arabic: الأخبار, literally "The News") is a daily left-wing Arabic language newspaper published in Beirut.
History
The newspaper started printing and distribution in July 2006. It was established by Joseph Samaha and Brahim El Ameen, both considered to be among the most renowned Lebanese journalists. Samaha died from a stroke few months after the publishing of the paper.[2] In December 2010, Al-Akhbar received and published an advance copy of the US State Department cables by Wikileaks, after which the newspaper's website was hacked.[3]
Orientation
Al-Akhbar defines its political orientation to be affiliated to the general popular political stream working for independence, freedom, anti-war, anti-occupation and social justice in Lebanon and around the world.[4] The paper has published articles involving women's rights[5] and gay rights.[6]
The English-speaking press has variously classified Al Akhbar from "Hezbollah’s newspaper"[7] to "left-wing".[8]
