AL-Monitor (AL-Monitor.com) is an award-winning media service that was 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. 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, which includes Mandarin Chinese, allows readers worldwide to access our content.
AL-Monitor has been cited by Reuters, BBC, the Washington Post, New York Times and Associated Press. Its journalists are often guests on CNN, C-SPAN, France24, MSNBC and NPR.
Since its founding in 2012, Al-Monitor has provided comprehensive coverage of the Middle East, including field reporting and high-profile interviews from Israel, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza, Egypt, the Gulf and North Africa. Al-Monitor is highly regarded for its independence, diversity and thorough reporting and analysis.
AL-Monitor regularly convenes global leaders and thinkers for summits and roundtables focused on pressing issues in the Middle East. In 2023, AL-Monitor hosted heads of state and key decision-makers at the Middle East Global Summit in New York. Notable speakers and guests included King Abdullah II of Jordan, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani, senior diplomatic adviser to the UAE President Anwar Mohammed Gargash, White House senior advisor for energy and investment Amos Hochstein, Oman Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, US Assistant Secretary of State Barbara Leaf, and other senior government ministers and business leaders.
AL-Monitor offers a range of products, including more than 10 specialized newsletters (covering business, technology, China’s role in the region and, most recently, the City Pulse series focused on local news in Dubai, Doha, Istanbul and Riyadh), video interviews, long-form podcasts, unique country pages that allow readers to track developments in each country, and a first-class news app that delivers breaking news, live updates, exclusive long-form audio, interviews, short videos and access to its entire archive of articles since 2012 — demonstrating the breadth and independence of its reporting.
