About The Palestine Chronicle

 About Us

• The Palestine Chronicle is an independent online newspaper that provides daily news, commentary, features, book reviews, photos, art, etc, on a variety of subjects. However, it’s largely focused on Palestine, Israel, and the Middle East region.

• The Palestine Chronicle is a self-sustained project involving professionals and volunteers from around the world, all striving to highlight issues of relevance to human rights, national struggles, freedom and democracy.

• The Palestine Chronicle team consists of professional journalists and respected writers and authors who don’t speak on behalf of any political party or champion any specific political agenda.

• The Palestine Chronicle website was established in September 1999 and has grown in its importance and scope of coverage mostly because of the support it received from socially conscious and progressive scholars, writers, activists, readers and communities around the world.

Endorsements:

“The Palestine Chronicle has been an invaluable source of information and analysis about Palestine and related issues, drawing from a wide range of sources, including many that are otherwise inaccessible to the concerned public. An independent voice, it has been trustworthy and reliable.” – Noam Chomsky, a professor emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“In the midst of an institutional media bias against telling the searing truth about Palestine, the Palestine Chronicle is a beacon. History, witness, analysis and ways forward are here, written with authority and humanity. Long may it publish.” – John Pilger, a world-renowned journalist, author and documentary filmmaker.

“The Palestine Chronicle presents independent commentary on crucial issues. The editors and their work constitute a sign of hope for a better future.” – Kathy Kelly, Co-coordinator, Voices for Creative Nonviolence

“The Palestine Chronicle is an essential publication for keeping up with the big picture in the Middle East.” – James Petras, Professor Emeritus, Binghamton University; author of many books.

“The Palestine Chronicle is proof positive that there is hope, that alternative media can one day overpower the corporate mainstream.” –  Joshua Frank, co-editor of DissidentVoice.org.
