It currently covers news from all 22 Arab countries, Iran, and the Arab media diaspora generally to span across the North Africa region as well as the UK and other countries that host Pan-Arab media.

An archive, which already contains thousands of briefs coded by subject categories (women, judicial, energy etc), specific news sources (Al Hayat, Al Jazeera, Al Quds Al Arabi etc), countries, general topics (opinion, business etc.) and keywords, is fully searchable.
