El Shark
Founded in 1926, El Shark is one of the oldest newspapers in Lebanon and is considered to be supportive of the March 14 Alliance and the Future Movement, i.e. standing in opposition to Hezbollah's political alignment in the country. Awni Al-Kaaki, a Lebanese journalist who has been the head of the Lebanese Press Order since 2015, is the Chairman of the Board, and Khalil Khoury is the Editor-in-Chief. Despite the overall orientation of the paper, Al-Kaaki is seemingly in close contact with all establishment parties and forces in the country.
