Al Kalima (Arabic: الكلمة, The Word) is an Arabic daily newspaper published in Libya. It is one of the newspapers established during or following the Libyan revolution which toppled Muammar Ghaddafi in 2011.[1][2]
Al Kalima was launched by Mohamed Elmozogi in May 2011.[3] The paper is headquartered in Benghazi.[4] It has 16 pages and is published in broadsheet format.[3] In June 2011, the circulation of the daily was about 4,000 copies.[3]
Al Kalima is one of the independent papers in Libya in that it does not represent and have affiliation with any political interest groups and parties.[5] The paper covers news and features and is much more professionally run in contrast to others in the country.[6][7] Amal Omar Shennib is among the frequent contributors.[6]
