Mideastwire.com is an Internet-based, licensed news service that employs a team of translators around the region to gather important stories from and about the Middle East. It was established in Beirut, Lebanon in 2005. The core product is a daily email newsletter to English speaking subscribers that aggregates key English language stories about the Middle East together with translated Arabic and Persian stories that appear via the print, radio and television media of the region. They cover news from all 22 Arab countries, Iran, and the Arab media Diaspora generally. Thus their reach extends across the North Africa region as well as to the UK and other countries that host Pan-Arab media. (Updated daily)
