The National was founded in 2008 and has since set a new standard for quality English-language journalism in the Middle East. Widely recognised as one of the most influential news outlets from the region, The National has been honoured extensively for its journalism, design, podcasts, photography and videos, while its reputation for excellence appeals to decision-makers and industry leaders.

The National is committed to delivering quality journalism to its international audiences. Headquartered in Abu Dhabi with a team of nearly 140 editorial staff there, it also has bureaux in London, Washington DC, Beirut and Cairo, and a wide network of correspondents and contributors elsewhere, The National has developed a reputation for providing in-depth coverage of the Middle East and a window into the region for the wider world.

Publishing across all digital platforms, The National also produces a print edition five days a week in the United Arab Emirates.

In 2017, The National was acquired by IMI, a privately owned investment company focused on building a portfolio of quality media assets across the globe.
