An-Nahar

An-Nahar

"An-Nahar" ( _ar. النهار) "The Day", is the leading Arabic-language daily newspaper in Lebanon.It was first published on August 4, 1933 as a four-page, hand-set paper.

The paper, whose staff numbered five, including its founder Gebran Tueni, was started with a capital of 50 gold pieces raised from friends, and a circulation of a mere 500 copies. Gebran's son, Ghassan Tueni, and grandson, also named Gebran Tueni, were subsequent editors and publishers.

Gebran, Ghassan's son, editor of "An-Nahar", who was elected to parliament for a Beirut constituency in the 2005 elections, was assassinated on the 12 December 2005 in Mkalles near Beirut in a car-bomb explosion. Gebran, a fiery critic of Syria and its hegemony in Lebanese affairs, had just returned from Paris, where he had been living for fear of assassination.

Prominent writers for "An-Nahar" have included novelist and critic Elias Khoury, who edits its weekly cultural supplement "Al-Mulhaq" (which appears on Thursdays) and, until his assassination, historian, journalist and political activist Samir Qassir.
