Can anyone access any Syrian newspapers online?
I'm talking about those not owned by Western interests.

The Syrian Times used to be available (their English version), but now I can't seem to get it to come up. And my Google won't translate their web page for me.

1. Try this list

I tried the Lebanon one out of curiousity and it was bang up to date.

6. thanks. I usually use this multi-news source
http://www.thebigproject.co.uk/news/

But for some reason I couldn't link through from it to the Syrian Times.
I'll add your site to my news bookmarks, thanks!

3. Oh thanks! Don't know why it didn't work for me.
I like to keep an eye on the multiple perspectives.

7. The URL has been changed
In the link I provided it's:

http://syriatimes.tishreen.info /

In the link the poster above provided it's listed as:

www.teshreen.com/syriatimes/

When I tried the last one it didn't work for me either.
