Al Arabiya.net

For many news outlets, namely in the middle east its is considered a reliable news source for building up a story, however, in personal opinion, most of its news coverage is based on international news agencies. This makes the news posted on this website more credible. Having said, the media outlet is trying to commit to certain terminology in Arabic like in using the word "martyr" in referring to Palestinian causalities outrageous enough as far as much of the public Arab opinion is concerned.

Since it was created in 2004, following the US and the allied troops on Iraq, the Saudi-owned agency sought to focus in Arab-related news through comprehensive coverage and analytical articles written in the first place by Arab columnists, who are in many cases taking sides. As a journalist I would take from this website news and writer my own story supported with facts away from plagiarism. Away from that, the website is indeed contains a diversity of news ranging from political, cultural and social to lifestyle and arts.

By large, financial independence give any news website credibility and reliability.
