AL-MONITOR

Al-Monitor is a global newsroom headquartered in Washington, D.C. with a network of over 160 authors and analysts around the world. Founded in 2012, Al-Monitor’s mission is to foster a deeper understanding between the Middle East and the international community with analytical pieces from some of the most trusted, independent authors from across the globe. It seeks to monitor the pulse of the Middle East through its award-winning platform and publishes a diverse set of perspectives, connecting those in the Middle East with those who have a desire to better understand a region that is so rapidly changing. Al-Monitor’s authors write for those who want to go beyond the headlines — readers who want to explore the nuances of regional politics, but also want to better understand the social and cultural context of the Middle East as seen, experienced and understood by those who live there. Additionally, Al-Monitor aims to remind our readers of the vibrant tapestry of art, culture, film, music, food and history that permeates the Middle East.
