Qatar Chronicle was a daily English language news web portal published in Qatar. It is no longer available online.
The publication had an active social media presence.
History
The "Qatar Chronicle" was founded in September 2012 as an English language news portal. The establishment spent the first 2 months of its inception and a considerable investment, putting together a competent team of journalists, photographers and reporters along with the technical staff.
Though it began modestly reporting mostly on events and happenings in Qatar, it quickly diversified into other domains including politics, sports, international news, entertainment and travel.
Unlike most media in Qatar, the Chronicle delivers a balanced perspective on local and world events that is not always in line with the publicly accepted propaganda.
Though the majority of articles are news reports, the portal's editorials, including those by associate editor Aani Fatimah Khathon (hailed as the Lois Lane of Qatar), are highly opinionated.
