Sowar is a magazine about photojournalism and documentary photography.
The focus of topics in Sowar magazine is mainly on events, cultures, people and scenes in Lebanon, the Middle East and the Gulf regions. The work of international photographers and photojournalists is presented in themes (or photo essays) – a series of pictures about a specific topic. The magazine is picture-intensive, with most of the photos taking up the entire double spreads of the magazine’s pages.
Sowar magazine is published in Beirut, Lebanon. It launched in 2007, and is issued 6 times per year.[1] The word "Sowar" is the phonetic pronunciation of the word "Pictures" in Arabic.
[edit] Tagline
The magazine’s tagline is “A picture with a few words is worth a million,” and it first appeared in the editorial of the first issue. It is a spin on the well-known adage that “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
