An-Nahar

An-Nahar (Arabic: النهار‎‎), which translates to "The Morning" or "The Day" in English, is a prominent daily newspaper in Arabic, published in Lebanon. Journalist Charles Glass describes An-Nahar as the Lebanese counterpart to The New York Times. The newspaper was founded on August 4, 1933, starting as a four-page publication that was hand-set. It began with a small team of five people, including its founder, Gebran Tueni, and was initially financed with 50 gold coins from friends. The first circulation was just 500 copies. Tueni held the position of chief editor until his passing in 1949. Following him, his son, Ghassan Tueni, and later his grandson, also named Gebran Tueni, took on the roles of editors and publishers.
