Established in 2022, The New Arab (TNA) Investigative Unit intends to focus on impactful stories that originate from the MENA/SWANA region and its diasporas, but go beyond their territorial and imagined boundaries, resulting in international repercussions.
Themes include but are not limited to corporate and government corruption, human and animal rights, environmental damage, organised crime, technological surveillance, arms trade and lobbying.
Contributors are expected to articulate a clear-cut hypothesis and explain how they would corroborate it. Besides being involved in the fact-checking process, our investigative unit can provide different kinds of support for the development of these projects.
If you wish to pitch ideas for long-form investigations, please fill in the related forms (available below in English and Arabic), and send them to Head of Investigative Unit Andrea Glioti (andrea.glioti@newarab.com).
