Exclusive – Shehab
The head of the Palestinian Journalists Bloc, Imad Zaqout, has affirmed that the Palestinian Shehab Agency is a vital information source on the Palestinian arena, and has gone further still, influencing events rather than merely reporting them.
In an exclusive statement to "Shehab", Zaqout said the agency contributed, during the genocidal war on Gaza, to highlighting the picture from the heart of events and documenting it.
He added that Shehab is today keeping pace with the major developments in the media world, through a website that delivers the service as it happens.
Zaqout expressed his hope that the new website will be at the forefront of media sites and platforms in Palestine.
It is worth noting that Shehab News Agency is a Palestinian news agency founded on 1 January 2007 in the Gaza Strip, and is one of the largest Palestinian news agencies. It is followed by a wide segment of the Arab and Islamic world on its digital platforms, despite its pages having been shut down more than once.
The agency works around the clock to convey the true picture of events on the Palestinian arena, entrench the principles of free professional media, and document facts in sound and image so they reach the world. It also provides news, production and technical services to local, Arab and international media institutions.
The agency launched its new website on Wednesday, the eleventh of November this month, in a new phase of its media journey.
