History and profile[]
Al Anbaa was launched in 1951.[1] As of 2008 the publisher and director-in-charge was Aziz El Metni who survived an arson attack in Qornet Shehwan on 19 January 2008.[2][3] In 2012 the editor-in-chief was Rami Hassib Rayess who was also senior media officer at the Progressive Socialist Party.[1]
The paper is close to the Walid Jumblatt's Progressive Socialist Party.[2][4][5] Jumblatt publishes editorials in the paper.[6]
Al Anbaa was critical of Syrian ruler, Hafez Assad, and Kataeb Party in the 1970s.[7] It was a weekly print newspaper until 2012 when it became an only-online publication.[1][2]
