Translated Daily News Briefs from the Middle East

Even if you don't speak Arabic or Farsi, you can catch breaking news and key opinion pieces from more than 500 media outlets in 22 Arab countries, Iran, and the Middle-Eastern diaspora. All members of the USC community can read daily updates from Mideastwire.com.  

Previously only available to USC's international relations faculty and students, Mideastwire.com offers daily translated briefs covering some of the key political, cultural, economic and opinion pieces appearing in the Arab media. The site includes a fully searchable archive containing thousands of briefs coded by subject categories (women's issues, judicial rulings, energy policy, and more), specific news outlets (such as Al Hayat, Al Jazeera, and Al Quds Al Arabi), specific countries, keywords, and more.

You can access Mideastwire.com directly here or from the USC Libraries e-resources page and the pages with selected e-resources for international relations and political science
