While I disagree with the changes implemented at the publication, and had no role in planning them, I honestly hope I'm wrong. Best of luck to all of my former colleagues at L'Orient Today and OLJ; congrats on a record-setting month, and wish you all success in the future.

Personal note: As of today, I have been removed as the managing editor of L'Orient Today. The publication's editorial direction and control will now be exercised by the editors-in-chief of L'Orient-Le Jour.

@ramezdagher @mich_h By my math, it's been 5,924 days since Mikati's gov't gained confidence on April 27, 2005. If we take that as a starting point, we've had no gov't for 1,419 days, just shy of 24% of the time. If we add in the gap between formation and confidence, it goes up to 27% of the time

@bnoujaim @timourazhari @lorienttoday Hi, we're separate newsrooms with separate editorial teams, but guided by the same basic editorial principles of empathy, transparency and critical inquiry. A number of pieces are translated and co-published, but the bulk of content in each is exclusive.

@timourazhari @lorienttoday whats the difference wioth orient le jour? I susb to the french version. is the editorial line/ analysis etc different?

This is great news!

@benredd Big thanks, really. If not I would've started to listen to old episodes – would've been super nice actually but also seriously messed up my schedule : )
English
@benredd since I know you keep excellent track of this, would you mind reminding me, how many days did the last government formation take?

We're back! And we brought reinforcements...
Excited to have my friend and colleague @timourazhari joining us for our fourth season!

@Watchdogslb @henrichaoul @riachi_jean @LOrientLeJour @CommerceLevant @MaucourantNada @OmarTamo19 @MichelHe @saharalattar Thanks for the support. But no one person can do that — it's going to take a team of people inside and outside the newsroom. That's why solidarity, having each other's back, is so crucial

Marwan Hamadeh, @LOrientLeJour and @CommerceLevant give the Lebanese media a masterful lesson in ethics and transparency with the below sentence:

Had a great conversation with @Nizhsn and @benredd yesterday. We are all getting tired of talking about forensic audits, but it's important to document the details so we don't forget. Banking secrecy is a secondary issue at this point. The problem is there's no will to cooperate.

In letters to/meetings with @hrw, #Lebanon's security forces denied wrongdoing during the #Beirut Aug8 protests that injured >700 & instead traded blame for the abuse
But overwhelming evidence we gathered contradicts their claims. Latest for @lorienttoday

My latest: A Russian-organized conference in Damascus, with Lebanon's participation, seeks to promote Syrian refugee returns. I look at previous efforts to do this in Lebanon, why they haven't worked, and why this one likely won't either today.lorientlejour.com/article/1240459 via @lorienttoday
