Since its inception,Ya Libnan has transformed from ablog-style format maintained by three volunteers to an official news site that is supported by over 100 multi-national volunteers.
In 2005The Washington Post'sJefferson Morley calledYa Libnan "The New Media kid on the block".[1] The site started as a web presence for the massive street demonstrations that took place after Hariri's assassination and evolved into a daily news site with cosmopolitan, liberal politics.[2]
