Al Joumhouria (Arabic: جريدة الجمهورية لبنان) is a Lebanese daily newspaper founded in 1924.[1]
Contents |
After its founding in 1924, Al Joumhouria ceased publication for an extended period. At attempt at resuming in 1985 was not completed because of the Lebanese Civil War. A second, by owner and editor Elias Murr in 2005, was halted when a failed assassination attempt left Murr with serious injuries.[2] Finally the paper was published on February 28, 2011, the first issue since the initial cessation of publication.[3] Its release was accompanied by a significant advertising campaign featuring the paper's motto, "when silence became betrayal, Al Joumhouria spoke."[4]
The paper is organized into sections: Local News, International News, Business, Arts, Science, Health, Style, Culture, Sports, Technology, and Religion; over 32 color pages.[5] It is also available on for iPad—making Al Joumhouria the first Lebanese Arabic newspaper with an iPad application[6]—and e-reader devices.
