Iraqi media sources
Much of the Iraqi media now has some form online presence, and many newspapers include most of the text of their print editions. Although a few include English translations of a selection of articles, most content is in Arabic. Online Arabic-English translation tools are provided by Google, Worldlingo, and GTS: they aren't perfect, but they are often good enough to make sense of news articles.
- Al Mutamar
Daily newspaper, a mouthpiece of the Iraqi National Congress. Full text of the is online, as well as archives going back some time.
- Al Sabah al Jadid
Created by former al-Sabah editor Ismael Zayer following his resignation from that newspaper. Circulation is 15-18,000 copies. The English section of the website has been scaled back as part of a cost-cutting exercise.
- Al-Sabah
Al-Sabah was founded and funded by the American authorities in Iraq, and remains one of the more pro-government outlets. Online archives reach back to 2004, and include English translations of some articles.
- Al-Zaman
One of Iraq's most popular newspapers, edited primarily in London. Run by Saad Al-Bazzaz, an Iraqi living in the UK (as of 2004), an Iraqi who fled to London during the 1990s. It has been claimed that Al-Bazzaz receives funding from Saudi Arabia. The website carries a small selection of articles in English translation
