Based in Dubai Media City, Al Arabiya is the latest independent Arabic news channel to be launched and broadcast from the Middle East, to deliver integrity and fairness, broadcasting around the clock.
"Al Arabiya will introduce, speedy, detailed news reporting that relies on our extremely qualified correspondents in over 40 countries," said Salah Qallab, spokesman for Al Arabiya, "The truth will be told, and we will discuss Arab and international issues."
Al Arabiya's programming consists of intensive news, current affairs and documentaries. News will be acquired from multiple sources, presented to viewers in a high quality, attractive format, keeping it efficient and accurate. Al Arabiya will air un-edited testimonials from people, encouraging viewers to express their own opinions.
The presenters on Al Arabiya News Channel are from different Arab countries, and they all have a presence on screen. "The presenters and news reporters were selected based on their experience and competence, as Al Arabiya's motto is, 'We get the best each journalist has to offer,'" said Salah Qallab.
There will also be a variety of documentaries on Al Arabiya, produced by both Al Arabiya and other international broadcasters, highlighting issues from all over the world including hot topics, news updates, politics and policies to name a few.
The Al Arabiya footprint spreads from Morocco to the UAE, across the whole of the Arab world. The channel is regional now, but aspires to be the Arab news source in the international arena.
To conclude, Salah Qallab commented, "Al Arabiya will be confident in its method, approaching the world with an open mind and relying on the truth and facts. It will be open and constructive and will represent us as civilized Arabs and Muslims."
