Bahrain Mirror
Bahrain Mirror is an independent Arabic-language digital outlet founded in 2011 and published from exile, with an English-language section. Reporting on Bahraini politics, human rights and the economy, it offers opposition-inclined coverage unavailable in the kingdom's domestic press, where the last independent newspaper, Al-Wasat, was shut down by authorities in 2017.

Is Bahrain Mirror left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Bahrain Mirror is positioned toward the editorial center of Bahrain's media spectrum, or its orientation is mixed or not consistently classified by the major media-bias assessments. Crosswire groups Bahrain outlets into left, center and right so you can read the same day's events from more than one vantage point: seeing Bahrain Mirror beside outlets of a different orientation makes editorial choices — which stories lead, which framing is used, what gets omitted — far easier to spot than reading any single source alone.
Leanings shown on Crosswire are approximate editorial orientations drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments (such as AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check) and from each outlet's reputation. They are offered to help you read the same story from different perspectives — not as definitive or exhaustive judgements. Where a confident rating was unavailable, an outlet is shown as centrist.
