This Hanukkah Give the Gift of Truth

The Media Line led twenty years ago in pioneering the American independent news agency in the Middle East, arguably the first in the region. We have always stayed true to our mission: to provide you with contextual sourced and trustworthy news. In an age of fake news masquerading as journalism, The Media Line plays a crucial role in providing fact-based news that deserves your support.

We're proud of the dozens of young students we've trained in our Press and Policy Student Program who will form the vanguard of the next generation of journalists to the benefit of countless millions of news readers.

Controversial HRW Figure to Speak in Amman

The Media Line Staff
01/08/2020

Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director for Human Rights Watch, will speak at Columbia Global Centers in Amman January 8 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Shakir was deported by Israel in late November under an Israeli law that permits the government to expel visitors who actively advocate for the BDS movement.
