Journalism can never be silent: That is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.

The Algiers Herald is the first secular, independent English-language news outlet focused on North Africa. Built by a consortium of journalists, correspondents & analysts spanning four continents; we aim to deliver an unbiased source of information whilst maintaining the highest journalistic standards.

We are strong believers that the best way to enable sustainable change in the Arab world is to challenge its dogmas by engaging in an uncensored debate.

Our ‘Opinion’ section was designed to provide a platform for a large assortment of topics, ranging from politics, arts to religion. It accepts being controversial and a place to tackle issues often left aside in our societies.


Because we are completely independent from government interference, we encourage our readers to contribute to the development of our news outlet by making a donation.
