Algerian daily El Khabar becomes bestselling in Arab region despite the relentless legal prosecution
[ 06/11/2008 - 07H51 - Newswatch India ]
Algerian newspaper El Khabar has topped Arab newspapers in distribution rates.
The newspaper's distribution estimations exceeded 600.000 copies a day, despite its short life (the paper has only been published for eighteen years), and the huge number of lawsuits which have been aimed at its editors and reporters over the years, the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) has said.

It was started in 1990 as a journalists' cooperative with a distribution of 18,000 to become one of the major Arab press institutions, and the best-selling Arab newspaper.
