The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) is pleased to announce the launch of its MEMRI Spanish website, at www2.memri.org/espanol/.
Although MEMRI has been translating some of its key research into Spanish for years (see MEMRI Spanish on Facebook and Twitter), there remains a dearth of information in the Spanish-speaking world about events and conflicts in the Middle East.
The new MEMRI Spanish website will help fill this gap, providing a wide range of MEMRI research, including translations of primary-source content from Arabic, Farsi, and other languages. This content is aimed at readers in Spain, Latin America, and other Spanish-speaking areas where Middle East coverage and analysis comes mainly from Anglophone media or from ideology-based political outlets such as Venezuela's TeleSUR satellite TV network. It will provide a public service to governments, legislatures, media, and other audiences, to inform and enrich the public policy debate.
