الأق The closest to the spirit of the Iraqi intellectual and the first support knowledge activity



ت Following the events of a journalist cadre free of any bias or falsification of fourteen years, their hearts clashed, and their pens were formed, and their inklings, who skipped the lines, spoke only to the concerns of the people, each of whom acted honestly according to freedom and provided them with a range. About faith and believe in principle.
Every year, where those anguish were exposed to one of them, the others soon embraced new ones, until the circle of work expanded in this place, which was no longer a place of work and a function, but a home that brought together the inhabitants of love, familiarity, honesty and faith in the freedom of the word. I can not change the reality of what they will write and what they will say. So, in short, the term was established ...
I am not the one who edited the newspaper, and its achievements, but I read big names in it. Journalist, as many journalists told me, "This institution does not have a journalist Yedi "!
I did not realize the impact of this sentence only after I took the first step on the ladders "range"
Then taught me the hands that are now converging from one knowledge to the other, and from one lesson to another, that this place has only two generous teacher with his gift journalist, and a student sincere in his desire to learn, and I was that pupil ... who had entered the "extent" to believe .. I sit and listen to the conversations of the workers in the long term, and I watch the relationship between the members of the staff, even with their managers or heads of departments, even the editor or director general, and to the Chairman of the Board, where this permeates the relationship of affinity, With one family, I begin to weave the stories they see in my imagination, and I find them cooperating cells, when After the liberation of the media and the press in 2003 from the tyranny of tyranny until its founder, Fakhri Karim Zangana, began to collect his support team, he began to publish a newspaper in Iraq, after it was a publishing house, a magazine in Syria Since 1994 .. "
The names that started with Karim to establish this work were "Salwa Zeko, Suhail Sami Nader, Zuhair Al-Jazairi, Riyad Qassem, Abdul Zahra Zaki .." and who attracted another team before starting to develop the work plan for the issuance of the newspaper, Including Ghada Al-Muali, Alaa Al-Mafriji, Qassem Mohammed Abbas, Saeed Abdul Hadi, Safa Sinkor, Hussain Mohammed Ajil, Khaled Mahfouz, Adnan Manshid and Jamal Al Amidi. The
Chairman of the Board of Directors met with these names, Its headquarters at the time were a small office in Beirut Square / Palestine Street, to be completed later But the issuance of the first issue, and in 2003 move to a larger building in the area of ​​Abu Nuwas ..
Journalist Salwa Zeko oversaw the mini-work team to issue the first issue of the newspaper. Hence, we can see the spirituality of the term in supporting the feminist side. It is often the leadership of women, and this may be sure of the chairman of the board of women's ability to give. Ghada Al-Amali then became director general of the Foundation ...
The newspaper began to issue two to three numbers during the week, and then another meeting of the Board of Directors of the newspaper to issue daily issues, becoming the range of the first Iraqi newspapers issued after March 2003, and topped the Iraqi newspapers today. ..
Many names and important names joined this institution until it reached what it is today, starting with its editor-in-chief Adnan Hussein, who was known for his support of the talented new pens, by directing them and embracing them, in addition to the efforts of Deputy Editor Ali Hussein and his inexhaustible activity from During his continuous presence in the institution and his serious follow-up of all the pages that are published, his spirit of renewal and keeping abreast of the development of journalism in the world, in addition to his follow-up and supervision of the scope supplements that accompany the newspaper every day of the week, Hussein Hussein, who used the staff to call the " From the first day Yen to the newspaper does not leave until the pages are transferred to the printing press to reassure the course of work over seven days a week.
As for the sections of Al-Mada newspaper, it used to constantly regenerate and capture the new news, and to submit reports of interest to the Iraqi reality in various fields. Their work is supervised by Mazin al-Zaidi, and the work of the local affairs department was not isolated from the political section. Local news pages focused on all the events related to the city and its inhabitants. It highlighted the Iraqi economic reality with all its decline and crises. The Investigations Department was distinguished by its inquiries about the ministries and the work within its borders, and the excellence of its proxies close to the affairs of the people and their suffering, in addition to working to provide daily and important investigations. And the cultural audience of elites and readers realize that cultural appendices and cultural pages of the range will be presented to them the most important names of writers, playwrights, filmmakers and plastic artists in addition to cultural topics General, I tried to extend the scope of each year in addition to its age and achievements to take care of the affairs of citizens and their concerns, and was known as the first supporter of Iraqi culture through many of the events organized, starting from the plastic exhibitions and book exhibitions that started from Damascus during the first years of its establishment, , which included exhibitions include various intellectual, cultural, artistic and literary fields, a transition annual role in Erbil book Fair, and even the weekly Esbouhadtha hosted by the House term in Mutanabi Street to recall the intellectual and cultural Iraqi figures and highlights Mndzha ... and The term still includes important names with its current staff, its public administration and its board of directors. Perhaps the most important thing for its members to adhere to is that they work in the spirit of one family.
