Writing and Printing

Al-Masdar Online

Al-Masdar Online is a Yemeni online newspaper. It was originally established in 2007 as the printed weekly newspaper Al-Masdar, with the daily online version later launching in 2009. The newspaper frequently came in conflict with the Yemeni government due to its reporting, and had become a top newspaper in the country by 2010. The newspaper extensively covered the Yemeni revolution; one of its photojournalists, Jamal al-Sharabi, was the first reporter to be killed by security forces during the protests. The printed newspaper was converted to a daily in 2012, but was forced to shut down in 2015 after the Houthis raided their offices in Sanaa. Since then, the newspaper has operated exclusively in a digital manner and remains one of the largest publications in Yemen, noted for its independence.
