Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN) is the premier, Arabic-first language source of news, commentary and information that connects the Middle East and the United States. We reach Middle Eastern audiences with a distinctly American voice. Our flagship brand, Alhurra, delivers independent news and analysis via alhurra.com, social media, and short-form video — while our expanding offerings include podcasts, newsletters, data-driven reports, and more. Based in Washington, D.C., and active in major Middle Eastern capitals, MBN operates under a Congressional mandate through the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM).
