Fadaat Media Group was founded in 2012 as a private commercial media company headquartered in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Beginning in 2013, the group established several media outlets across digital, print, and broadcast platforms.
Its first media outlet, The New Arab, an Arabic-language news website, was launched in March 2014. In September 2014, the company expanded into print media with the launch of the Arabic daily newspaper of the same name. In 2015, Fadaat Media entered television broadcasting with the establishment of the Al Araby Television Network which has been touted as a counterweight to Al Jazeera in respect to the latter's perceived bias towards the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
Fadaat Media Group produces news, analysis, and cultural content aimed at Arab audiences. According to the company, its media outlets seek to provide neutral and unbiased news coverage and in-depth analysis of political, social, and cultural issues.
The group's content includes reporting on current affairs as well as coverage of literature, the arts, and entertainment, and is distributed through newspapers, television channels, and digital platforms in Arabic and English. Fadaat Media operates across the Arab world and internationally.
The New Arab was the first media project launched by Fadaat Media. It operates as both a digital news platform and a print newspaper. The Arabic-language website was launched in March 2014, followed by the first print edition in September 2014.
