Qatar Chronicle was a daily English language news web portal published in Qatar. Its website ceased publishing new stories in 2015.

The publication had an active social media presence.[1]

History

The Qatar Chronicle was founded in September 2012 as an English language news portal.[2] [3]

Though it began reporting mostly on events and happenings in Qatar, it quickly diversified into other areas including politics, sports, international news, entertainment and travel.[4]

The Chronicle aimed to deliver a balanced perspective on local and world events that was not always in line with the official line which local media were encouraged to follow.[4]
