Today is a sad day for online journalism in Qatar. Nigel Gourlay, the founder and editor of Qatar Journal has just announced that he would no longer be publishing news. This was announced on the site today:
I'm sorry to say that Qatar Journal will no longer be publishing news. I'd like to thank everyone for their support over the last year, especially those who supplied me with stories. If you would like to make an archive of news stories, do it now, because in a few weeks the site will disappear. I'd like to offer encouragement to anyone who plans to set up a similar venture in the future. Perhaps Qatar's next online newspaper might be more successful. Many thanks again for reading.
As a digital news project, Qatar Journal proved that a successful online news site could be run by just one dedicated news hacker who could swim through RSS feeds, Google the deepest depths of the web and write compelling copy.
I'm sure many of the residents of Doha will be sad to see it go. Without it, all we are really left with are the local papers where we can look forward to reports on what new toy McDonald's is distributing with it's Happy Meal this month....
