Ma'an Network (Ma'an)
was founded in 2002 and licensed in 2004 as a non
profit organization operating from its headquarters
office in Bethlehem as well as from its sub-office
in the Gaza Strip. Ma'an works in partnership with
ten local independent television and ten radio
stations located in the major cities of Palestine.
These stations are staffed with journalists and
media technicians who have been well trained through
a series of local and international workshops
organized by Ma'an Network. Also, Ma'an leads an
online news agency “Ma'an News Agency” (www.maannews.net)
that publishes news around the clock in Arabic,
English and Hebrew. According to surveys and
statistics, Ma'an News Agency is considered as the
main source of information offering Palestinian and
international communities with independent
Palestinian news and is considered the most browsed
online news agency from the Palestinian Territories.
Ma'an is working towards achieving global media standards and providing
Palestinian people with reliable local and regional
information. Moreover, it aims at encouraging
Palestinians to become active participants in public
discussions. Through Ma’an News Agency (MNA)’s
website (www.maannews.net), and the production of
feature stories, documentaries and radio and TV talk
shows, Ma’an also works to promote decision- makers’
accountability and transparency.
Ma'an is committed to supporting and improving local Palestinian media
production through capacity building; providing
Palestinian and international communities with
independent and professional Palestinian news; and
promoting democracy in Palestine through media,
freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and
pluralism of the media. Ma'an seeks to foster the
production of objective and professional news while
offering high-quality Palestinian media products.
Ma’an is dedicated to promoting understanding of, and education about,
Palestine by strengthening cooperation between
local, regional and international media. Its local
partners provide their audiences with diverse views
and political opinions. Journalists from the Ma’an
Network are committed to the idea of accountability
and increased transparency as keys to building
democracy in Palestine.
