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?
Crosswire lists Bahrain Mirror as Center within Bahrain's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.
Read Bahrain Mirror beside another title from Bahrain and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Digital-native outlets reorder their front pages continuously in response to reader behaviour, so Bahrain Mirror may look different an hour from now — reload it alongside a print-cycle title and you can see which stories have staying power and which are traffic spikes. Because Bahrain Mirror is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Bahrain title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
