“The timeliness, accuracy, and depth of Al-Monitor articles represent a unique resource on the Middle East. The information in these articles often provides insights obtained nowhere else and does so in invariably crisp and cogent presentations.”

“I find the coverage and analysis from Al-Monitor to be extensive, on point and first rate; I very much depend on it to stay abreast of developments in the region. As a retired intelligence officer, the real value for me is that Al-Monitor goes beyond the news and provides insight, understanding and analysis. Frankly, it is my go-to site each morning.”
-Richard Baffa
Adviser, Jones Group Middle East
"After 25+ years of Middle East-focused studies and professional career, Al-Monitor has swiftly found its way into my daily routine of monitoring critical developments in the region and beyond. Content is empirically rich, form is fluid and coverage is balanced.”
