Middle East Eye is an independently funded online news organisation that was founded in February 2014. The publication aims to be the primary portal of Middle East news, and its target audience are all those communities of readers living in and around the region that care deeply for its fate.
MEE looks at issues from a Middle Eastern perspective and does not tailor its coverage for a specific audience. It seeks to bring local voices to the fore in analysis that isn’t shaped to suit political or financial agendas.
The publications has a large and constantly growing network of freelance correspondents and columnists covering 24 countries, with this coverage strengthened by content from influential think tanks, news agencies and syndicated content from other online publications.
Strategy
MEE's strategy to present unrivalled coverage of the region revolves around bringing together influential writers, analysts and thought leaders to create a balanced and accurate picture of the social, financial and political undercurrents shaping the Middle East’s future. Its principal loyalty is towards its readers – and its principal task is delivering them the truth.
The organization strives to ensure that all sides of arguments are heard on an impartial platform, with social media and other technologies helping to drive the debate. Far from merely following the official version of events, the publication's reporters are encouraged to read between the lines and find engaging angles that take stories one step further.
MEE thrives on the input of its readers, whether correcting its reporting or in making an important comment on any aspect of its coverage, and is constantly striving to improve interactivity.
It also aims to stand apart in coverage of the region by offering readers independently produced news, analysis and opinions generated by expert voices and fearless reporters. The agenda is led by events, not political leanings.
