The National was founded in 2008, setting a new standard for quality journalism in the Middle East. The National is committed to delivering quality journalism to its international audiences, offering readers six dedicated editions – UAE, US, UK, Gulf, Middle East North Africa and International - giving them a greater choice and accessibility in finding the news that matters most to them. With bureaux in London, Washington DC, Beirut and correspondents in key cities worldwide, The National has developed a reputation for providing in-depth coverage and a window into the region. The National has also been extensively awarded for its design, reporting, photography, and video work, while its indisputable reputation for excellence appeals to business leaders and decision makers. Publishing across all digital platforms, The National harnesses the latest multimedia tools – website, App, Videos, and podcasts - while continuing to produce a print edition six days a week in the United Arab Emirates. The National is owned by International Media Investments, a privately owned investment company focused on building a portfolio of quality media assets across the globe.
