Top 100 on Jadaliyya in 2014

This is a list of the mostread articles in 2014. Thanks to you, this year has by far attracted the broadest readership we have had since Jadaliyya's inception in 2010. Significantly, 2014 was also the year in which our Arabic articles readership grew exponentially, along with our general readership from within the region. Unfortunately, the daily news and developments from and within the region is far from rosy.

We hope we are contributing to mitigating the effects of bad news by providing alternative sound anaylisis and reporting, as well as literary and cultural material. Equally significant, we hope that the research resources and tools we are publishing on a weekly basis are providing additional support for educators and journalists alike. 

Enjoy the new year and another installment of daily publishing from Jadaliyya.
