Job Description

Company overview:

Standing at the intersection of community, identity, democracy, and social justice, Raseef22 is an independent online media platform that delivers to its readers a dynamic array of news and perspectives tailored for the Arab-speaking world and its diaspora.  The platform's birth can be traced back to the profound transformation brought about by the Arab Spring. In the wake of the Arab Spring, Raseef22 emerged as a beacon of inspiration, addressing a void in the Arabic language media landscape by combining local values and global outlooks. This transformative ethos still permeates through Raseef22’s very essence up until this very day.  What distinguishes Raseef22 is its unwavering commitment to nurturing a strong sense of community. Our platform has successfully cultivated a devoted readership spanning the 22 Arab countries, offering a space where diverse voices converge on topics ranging from politics and lifestyle to culture. Headquartered in the dynamic city of Beirut, Lebanon, Raseef22 operates globally, with a team spread across over 10 countries, while collaborating with a network of more than 100 journalists.   Raseef22’s approach is not just about merely reporting news. Instead, we strive to go beyond the surface-level dissemination of information. Our commitment involves delving deeper into the subjects we cover, aiming to unearth the underlying complexities, nuances, and broader contexts that extend beyond the immediate headlines.
