Read Our Story: The Future is Bright

When it was first published in 1952, The Daily Star became the Arab world’s first newspaper in English. Serving Lebanon and the Middle East with unrivaled local journalism in a foreign language, the paper offered the world a local view and domestic expertise on a rapidly changing region that very rarely failed to feature on top of the news agenda.

Despite interruptions during Lebanon’s Civil War, the newspaper returned to newsstands in the mid-1990s to reclaim its spot as the main source of Lebanon news in English.

The technological revolution that erupted at the turn of the century changed the ways people are consuming information and following the news. First the Internet then social media presented challenges for newspapers worldwide.

The Daily Star today is not only a newspaper. It has risen to the challenge and now offers its unique coverage of Lebanon and the region whenever and wherever you, the reader, want it.

But this costs money and financial realities mean that we have to increase our revenue to be able to continue to provide you with the best, unbiased coverage of Lebanon.

Pros and cons of The Daily Star - Lebanon app for iPhone and iPad

The Daily Star - Lebanon app good for

The app functions well. Gives you good information and sends you alerts when something important or worth knowing happens in Lebanon. Get it!
Well designed and easy to use, but too many articles have become for a pay....

Some bad moments

Before the update it was great but after ,the app is worth nothing now, 15$ a month is a joke , definitely deleting this garbage off my phone
Wow, so much locked content and disastrous new monthly charges. What a terrible move. Even The New York Times doesnt behave so boldly. Wrong move guys. Good-bye Daily Star.
Up until the update great! Now they want $15 U.S. A month forget it delete
I agree with another reviewer. Its been fine but the subscription idea is rather much. I look at the headlines and thats it. I go find details in other ways. The subscription is retrograde.
I like this application, but try to update, so we can use build-in dictionary to define some words Thanks again Khoder-Lebanon
No complaints. Excellent app, up to the minute news alerts, great reporting. Keeps me I. Touch with my homeland.
