Arabic-language newspapers published outside the Arab world represent one of the most significant and historically rich traditions in global journalism. The Arab diaspora — spanning Europe, North America, Australia and beyond — has maintained a vibrant Arabic-language press for over a century, with London emerging as the undisputed capital of pan-Arab journalism outside the Middle East. Today, an estimated 25 million Arabic speakers live outside the 22 Arab League nations, creating a global readership for Arabic diaspora media that rivals the domestic circulation of many Arab-world publications.
London is home to the most influential Arabic newspapers published outside the Arab world. Al-Quds Al-Arabi, founded in London in 1989, is one of the most respected independent pan-Arab papers. Asharq Al-Awsat, published from London since 1978, is one of the world's most widely circulated Arabic dailies. BBC Arabic, launched in 1938 as one of the BBC's first foreign-language services, remains one of the most trusted Arabic news sources globally. Sky News Arabia, Independent Arabia and Al-Araby Al-Jadeed complete London's remarkable Arabic media scene.
International broadcasters provide Arabic speakers worldwide with independent news from outside the region. France 24 Arabic, DW Arabic (Germany), VOA Arabic (USA), RFI Arabic (France), RT Arabic (Russia), CRI Arabic and People's Daily Arabic (China) and KBS World Arabic (South Korea) all broadcast Arabic-language news globally. Wire services AFP Arabic and Reuters Arabic supply Arabic content to media worldwide.
