an-Nahar

An-Nahar is considered Lebanon's newspaper of record. It adopted a critical stance on Syria and the Syrian regime's allies in Lebanon and its editor-in-chief Gibran Tueni paid for this with his life. He was killed in a 2005 attack for which the Syrian government is held responsible. The newspaper has seen its popularity wane in recent years. A number of its journalists were dismissed owing to financial problems and the paper's content has been markedly reduced.
