About Sobhiye
Your daily Lebanese news digest, crafted with care.
Our Mission
If you're part of the Lebanese diaspora, you know the feeling: you want to stay connected to what's happening back home, but the information landscape is fragmented, politically charged, and overwhelming. Dozens of outlets, each with their own spin, and never enough time to read them all.
Sobhiye exists to close that gap. We read the news so you don't have to — then deliver a short, smart summary to your inbox every morning. No spin, no clickbait, just the stories that matter, explained with the context you need.
What We Do
- Daily Newsletter — A 5-minute digest covering Lebanon, the region, and international stories that affect Lebanese communities worldwide.
- News Archive — Every edition is published online so you can browse past issues and share individual stories.
- Games — Daily trivia, map quizzes, and news quizzes to test your Lebanon knowledge.
- Podcast — Coming soon. Audio deep-dives into the stories behind the headlines.
How We Work
Sobhiye combines AI-assisted curation with human editorial oversight:
- Source Monitoring — We continuously scan dozens of Lebanese, regional, and international news sources in English, Arabic, and French.
- AI Curation — Our system scores and ranks articles for relevance, recency, and significance, filtering signal from noise.
- Human Editing — Every newsletter is reviewed before it hits your inbox. We verify facts, add context, and ensure the tone is right.
- Source Transparency — Every story links back to its original source so you can dig deeper.
The Name
Sobhiye (صبحية) is the Lebanese Arabic word for the morning coffee ritual — that sacred time when you sit down with your coffee, catch up on the news, and ease into the day. That's exactly what we want this newsletter to feel like: a warm, familiar ritual that keeps you connected to Lebanon, wherever you are in the world.
