Rudaw Media Network marks its 10th year anniversary on May 29, 2023 as it continues to be the leading news network in the Kurdistan Region. Rudaw is one of the main sources of information on the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and the Middle East.
Delivering accurate and fast-paced news in Kurdish, Arabic, Turkish, and English, the main objective of the network is retaining its audience’s trust in its coverage.
Rudaw has extended its presence beyond the Middle East, reporting from the frontlines of the war in Ukraine, and covering major events in Europe and the United States.
Over the past years, Rudaw has signed agreements with prominent news agencies and think tanks in Asia, the US, and Europe. It has also expanded its partnership with companies such as Meta and Google.
Rudaw is also moving towards increasing its coverage of climate change issues which are severely impacting the Kurdistan Region and Iraq.
On the anniversary of the founding of Rudaw Media Network, we congratulate our colleagues and pay tribute to Shifa Gardi who was killed while covering the fight against the Islamic State in Mosul in 2017, and our reporter Farhad Hamo who was kidnapped by the militant group in Syria in 2014.
From its humble beginnings, Rudaw has overcome numerous obstacles, emerging stronger and more determined to provide reliable and unbiased news coverage. Throughout this journey, we have remained steadfast in our dedication to upholding the highest standards of journalism, ensuring that our viewers and readers receive news they can trust.
Our success can be attributed to the strong partnerships we have built with leading news agencies. These collaborations have enabled Rudaw to expand its reach and amplify its voice, reaching audiences far and wide. By forging strategic alliances, we have strengthened our position in the media landscape, allowing us to provide comprehensive coverage of both local and global events.
In an ever-evolving media landscape, Rudaw is committed to staying at the forefront of innovation. We embrace new technologies and platforms to engage with our audience like never before. By harnessing the power of digital media, we strive to create meaningful connections with our viewers and readers, enabling them to actively participate in the news and share their perspectives.
Looking ahead, Rudaw remains dedicated to fulfilling its mission of delivering accurate, balanced, and insightful news coverage. Our team of talented journalists and dedicated staff members will continue to adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring that our reporting remains objective, transparent, and of the utmost quality.
As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our loyal viewers, readers, and partners who have supported us on this remarkable journey.
