With Artificial Intelligence.. "Al Nahar" announces its new launch in the Emirates

The Lebanese newspaper "An-Nahar" announced its launch in the United Arab Emirates, in parallel with its launch as an innovative news platform with artificial intelligence, accompanied by radical transformations in the concept of media, to establish itself as one of the most prominent pioneers in producing media content in the Middle East, based on 91 years of presence in the Lebanese, Arab and international political, economic and social scene, and on an international network of writers, journalists and editors who enjoy the spirit of the digital age.

Nayla Tueni: We are taking a big step to prove that our newspaper is always present wherever the news is Nayla Tueni, head of the Annahar Media Group, said: “We are taking a big step forward, and we will always be present wherever the news is, and also present wherever the news reader is, after Annahar proved its worthiness in performing the message of objective media, and established a standard for accurate news, and confirmed that it is not biased except towards the issue of freedoms, and it continues with a wider presence among young people, and with a more modern style in form and content.”

Starting today, An-Nahar will launch with two modern designs, print and digital, and the first change is the logo, which has been ingrained in the minds of the Lebanese for more than 9 decades. Fans of An-Nahar’s print edition will read a new, small edition on weekdays and a large, distinctive edition on Fridays, where form meets content in a new journalistic philosophy that focuses on delving into the essence of the news.

The new design is based on visual narrative elements such as images, charts, short analyses, facts and figures, highlighting “An-Nahar” as a “visionary” media platform, with the “rooster” logo, which is considered the icon of “An-Nahar”, being professionally prepared to be directed to the left to be in line with the Arabic language, and the rooster has become like a rising sun, inspired by the word “An-Nahar” itself.

"An-Nahar" proves its mark in modernizing the media In its new format, An-Nahar proves its mark in modernizing the media, with a dynamic renewal of its website, which is characterized by fast loading and automatic saving of preferences through artificial intelligence, and by focusing on digital content enhanced with video clips and artistic graphics, and by expanding its presence on public and dedicated social media platforms, to reach the widest target segment with multiple generations and interests, and to be a modern knowledge bridge between the global reader and the Lebanese and Arab news.

Al-Nahar Digital uses the enormous potential of artificial intelligence to develop a special and distinctive news experience, by providing customized, attractive and in-depth content, by quickly analyzing large amounts of data to discover prevailing trends and important patterns in daily events, accelerating the process of searching for information and facts, and monitoring social media to identify topics that interest people.

Tueni stressed that “our constant concern is for the reader to enter the electronic news portal of ‘An-Nahar’ and find the latest news, updated at every moment, along with all the supporting materials, from video clips and expert opinions, in politics as well as in arts and sports.” Here, artificial intelligence also helps in analyzing the preferences of ‘An-Nahar’ readers and generating customized content, after verifying the accuracy of the news. Tueni added: “Artificial intelligence will enhance ‘An-Nahar’s’ news style and consolidate its position as a provider of news services and rich content.” This intelligence also helps in translating selected articles from ‘An-Nahar’ into several languages. Lina Choueiri, Vice President of the Choueiri Group, said: “It is no longer acceptable to talk about a media outlet specific to a specific country, in light of the changes imposed by geographical and cultural standards for consuming news across different platforms. What is required is openness, expansion and digital growth in Arab and global markets.”
