About us

Libya’s trusted English-language source for business and economic news, keeping decision -makers, investors, and policy leaders informed on the latest developments shaping the country.

Our History

Libya Herald launched on 17 February 2012, the first anniversary of the Libyan Revolution. Since then, it has grown into a trusted English-language source on Libya for readers in the country and around the world, providing independent reporting and clear analysis on the developments shaping Libya’s business, economy, politics, and society.

As international interest in Libya continued to grow, Libya Herald expanded its coverage beyond daily news with the launch of its first print publication, the Libya Herald supplement Libya’s Investment Needs 2013, in November 2012. This was followed by the launch of Libya Herald: Business Eye on 17 February 2013, a regular business magazine focused on Libya’s investment landscape, private sector development, and economic opportunities.

Each edition of Libya Herald Business Eye featured sector-focused reporting, business analysis, and interviews with ministers, company leaders, and members of Libya’s business community. Eight issues were published and distributed in Libya and internationally before the magazine was paused in 2014.

Today, Libya Herald continues to build on that legacy through its digital platform as international interest in Libya once again grows. As part of its next phase, Libya Herald is preparing to expand its offering with a tailored online newsletter, giving readers a more direct way to follow the business, economic, and policy developments shaping Libya.

Our Mission

Libya Herald’s mission is to provide accurate, independent, and accessible English-language coverage of the developments shaping Libya’s economy, business environment, and national progress.

For over 14 years, we have reported on Libya for readers seeking more than surface-level updates. We believe trusted media has a responsibility to provide context, highlight meaningful developments, and offer a clear and honest view of the country’s evolving economic and social landscape.

Our Promise

Our promise is to report with accuracy, independence, and balance. We aim to continue to provide clear, relevant, and useful coverage that helps readers understand Libya with confidence.

Advertising helps sustain this work. Organisations seeking to reach decision-makers, industry leaders, and Libya-focused audiences can learn more through our Advertising page. Advertising content is clearly identified to protect the trust of our readers and the integrity of our platform.
