Al-Monitor Relaunches

The Middle East-focused publication adds a culture section and is increasing its Washington coverage

The five-year-old Al-Monitor relaunches with a new look and expanded coverage areas.

“When I launched Al-Monitor five years ago, I wanted to create a media organization that would bridge the gap of information available to both those in the Middle East as well as those with a desire to better understand a region so rapidly changing,” wrote founder Jamal Daniel in a post introducing the new site.

“Now, with the relaunch of Al-Monitor it is my hope that we will be able to engage and introduce an even wider, international audience to the people, politics and culture of the Middle East,” he wrote.

To serve those ends, Al-Monitor is adding to its Washington coverage, with two new hires, congressional correspondent Bryant Harris and Pentagon correspondent Jack Detsch, joining a team comprised of Washington editor Julian Pecquet and diplomatic and White House correspondent Laura Rozen.
