The961 Media Group

The961 is the leading English news and media site catered to the Lebanese audience. Since launching in July 2016, The961 has become the fastest-growing Lebanese website and leading independent English... media site in Lebanon. We are a small group of passionate Lebanese individuals who are devoted to reporting news and creating content that Lebanese want and love. We're on the mission of decentralizing news and information from politically-affiliated and linked media outlets (which currently make up 80% of all outlets in Lebanon). The961 covers content for over 70 sections and categories. From latest social trends and light-hearted content to investigative reports and stories holding those in power accountable that get our team members detained or attacked. As of January 1st, 2021, The961 is now a registered nonprofit media organization to mark its commitment to Lebanon and its mission.
