Al-Monitor (Al-Monitor.com) is an award-winning media service founded in 2012 by entrepreneur and philanthropist Jamal Daniel. Its mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the Middle East through world class reporting and analysis from and about the region.

In just its second year, Al-Monitor won the prestigious International Press Institute’s Free Media Pioneer Award, becoming the only American media outlet exclusively covering the Middle East to ever receive the honor.

Al-Monitor has also received Online Journalism and Best in Business Reporting awards.

Al-Monitor is read widely by US, international and Middle East decision makers at the highest levels, as well as by media, thought leaders, experts, and students focused on the region. Institutions including the White House, Harvard, NATO, the World Bank and foreign and defense ministries across the world all rely on Al-Monitor’s reporting. Its multilingual platform, including Mandarin Chinese, allows readers worldwide to access our content.

Al-Monitor is frequently cited in Al Arabiya, Al Jazeera, BBC, The New York Times, The Times of Israel, as well as The Washington Post, and its journalists are often guests on CNN, C-SPAN, France24, MSNBC and NPR.
