The Media Line Stands Out

Fighting The War of Words

As a teaching news agency, it's about facts first,
stories with context, always sourced, fair,
inclusive of all narratives.

We don't advocate!
Our stories don’t opinionate!

Just journalism done right.
Wishing those celebrating a Happy Passover.

Sharjah, this year’s UNESCO World Book Capital, unveiled “The Scroll,” a new piece of public art by British sculptor Gerry Judah, as well as designs for the new House of Wisdom – an iconic library and cultural center. Both projects are being developed by Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq).
