“AL Publishing comes today to compliment the efforts AL Arabic has offered the Arabic content industry over the past three years,” says Dr Ali. “We wanted to have our unique markup in the market, via focusing on specialised titles and high quality Arabic content, as evident by selecting the Arabic definite article AL as our umbrella brand. Our launching portfolio includes seven titles, with three more and a print flagship in the pipeline. Our goal will always be to offer Arabic readers high quality content and purposeful information or in other words, to be faithful to what journalism truly is.”
