"Hatha Alyoum" (This Day) represents a pioneering media experiment in the Iraqi digital landscape. Since its inception in 2009, it has not merely been a platform for transmitting events; rather, it has established itself as the "Digital Memory" documenting the Iraqi scene in all its details. Today, the encyclopedia emerges in its new, evolved form, infused with the latest Artificial Intelligence technologies. We are transitioning from traditional automation to the stage of "Digital Perception," where smart algorithms work alongside human journalistic awareness to deliver a high-precision news experience. This ensures the flow of information with purity and credibility across three living languages (Arabic, Kurdish, and English), making the platform a knowledge bridge connecting Iraqi components and to the outside world.
Global Partnership & International Trust Crowning its solid professional journey and high credibility, "Hatha Alyoum" is proud of its long-term strategic media partnership with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). This collaboration reflects international confidence in our editorial standards and our ability to reach the Iraqi audience professionally. This partnership, alongside our reliance on thousands of local and official sources, has strengthened the encyclopedia's ability to fill news gaps and produce exclusive content and in-depth investigations crafted in our own "Journalistic Kitchen." Meanwhile, our doors remain open to elite writers and analysts to express their views within a free forum that respects diversity and professionally distinguishes between the writer's opinion and the platform's policy.
Comprehensive Services Within the framework of its comprehensive vision, the encyclopedia is not content with being solely a source for political news. In its new form, it has expanded the scope of its sections and services to include everything a citizen and follower looks for—from economy, services, and market rates to community affairs and culture. It has become a comprehensive informational umbrella serving everyone seeking accurate information and quick service. This expansion is supported by a solid technical infrastructure that has strictly withstood all cyber challenges and hacking attempts targeting its neutrality over the past years, turning those challenges into strengths that have increased the solidity of our technical firewall.
Independence: Our Solemn Charter. From the very first moment, "Hatha Alyoum" adopted independence as a solemn charter from which it does not deviate. We are not linked to any partisan entity and do not rely on political funding. Instead, we rely on self-funding with absolute transparency through advertising revenues and honest partnerships. This independence is the real capital that has granted us the trust of millions, placing us at the forefront of the most visited websites in Iraq. Based on honest digital standards that reject manipulation and respect the reader's intellect, "Hatha Alyoum," in its smart and developed version, remains the primary source for truthful news and an informed Iraq.
