ARA News (Arabic: آرانيوز) is an online Arabic and English language news service focussed on Syrian and Kurdish events. ARA is an abbreviation of the Kurdish Ajansa Rojnamevaniya Azad, meaning "Independent Press Agency".[2] The site started as an Arabic-only news service.[3]
ARA News has been referenced hundreds of times by other news vendors, and thousands of times in social media.[4][5]
ARA News is supported by Free Press Unlimited, a Dutch non-governmental organization dedicated to the development of independent media in war zones.[6]

The ownership of the ARA News is unpublished. The website's domain name was first registered in April 2013.
