History and profile
Al Anbaa was established by
Qornet Shehwan on 19 January 2008.[3][4] As of 2010 the editor-in-chief was Rami Hassib Rayess who was also a senior media officer at the Progressive Socialist Party.[1][5]
The paper is close to the
editorials in the paper.[8] His father and the founder of the paper, Kamal Jumblatt, also regularly published articles in Al Anbaa.[9] Some of them contained harsh criticisms against President Bechara El Khoury in the early 1950s.[9] For instance, he argued in an article that Bechara El Khoury and his family were like an "octopus with three heads: injustice, corruption and vanity."[10] Following the publication of his articles dated 30 May 1952 in which he attacked the Lebanese regime this issue of Al Anbaa was confiscated by the government.[11]
Al Anbaa also attacked the
Hafez Assad, and Kataeb Party in the 1970s.[13] It was a weekly print newspaper until 2012 when it became an online-only publication.[1][3]
