Mideastwire.com is an Internet-based news service that employs a team of translators around the region to gather important stories from and about the Middle East.

Established in Beirut, Lebanon in June 2005, we began offering our services only to paying clients in September 2005. As it currently stands we cover news from all 22 Arab countries, Iran, and the Arab media Diaspora generally.

The Exchange is Mideastwire.com's flagship student program, extablished in May 2008 in Beirut, Lebanon by Mideastwire.com co-founder Nicholas Noe and Lebanese filmmaker Yamen Soukkarieh (email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

After more than five years of operating 18 Exchanges in six countries, Yamen and Nicholas now count almost 300 alumni as good friends around the world (hopefully the sentiment is shared by our alum)!

Launched in May 2010, The Mideastwire Blog publishes key excerpts of our daily translations garnered from the Arab and Iranian media, as well as political analysis by Mideastwire.com co-founder Nicholas Noe
