ARA News (Arabic: آرانيوز, romanizedʾĀrā Niyūz) was an online news service focused on the consequences of war in Syria and Iraq.[2] Although described as a Kurdish news agency by its director, the site started as an Arabic-only news service and as of January 2016, still published only in the Arabic and English languages,[1][3] and ceased publishing around August 2017.[4]

ARA News was referenced hundreds of times by other news vendors, and thousands of times in social media.[5][6] ARA News was supported by Free Press Unlimited, a media development organisation based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.[7]
