Reuters and IHT launch new Mideast supplement

Reuters and the International Herald Tribune are jointly launching a special supplement that will be inserted into the newspaper's Middle East editions on a weekly basis.

The first four-page issue of Middle East with Reuters, to be published on Thursday, will contain regional news, opinion and coverage of culture.

It will draw on the output of more than 200 Reuters journalists who cover the Middle East at a local and international level. Over the last 18 months, Reuters has recruited dozens of new journalists to its Middle East bureaus, doubling the amount of original Arabic-language news it produces. 

IHT publisher Stephen Dunbar-Johnson said: "We are excited to be expanding our collaboration with Reuters to provide even more analysis and fresh insight for our readers in the Middle East. There is a thirst here for the IHT's brand of high quality, independent journalism as reflected in our growing circulation numbers." The IHT has a new regional headquarters in Dubai. ■
