The Cradle is an online news magazine established in 2021, focusing on the geopolitics of Middle-East.[1] It provides insights, analysis, and opinions on the region's history, culture, and politics.
History
[edit]The Cradle was established with the aim of providing a voice to "the tens of millions of regional voices not heard in the world’s English-language media."[1] It was established by a group of journalists to challenge narratives that they allege are biased, and provide a more nuanced view of the West Asia's complex geopolitics.
Content
[edit]The Cradle publishes a wide range of content focusing on West Asian geopolitics, culture, and history. The platform features analyses, investigations, interviews, columns, and a podcast.[2]
Coverage
[edit]The Cradle is known for its extensive coverage of conflict zones, including Syria, Yemen, Palestine, and Iraq.[2] The platform provides reports from the ground on the human impact of these conflicts, as well as the political and military strategies at play.
The magazine often explores the relationships between West Asian countries and global powers, such as the United States, Russia, and China. Articles in this category analyze diplomatic moves, economic sanctions, and military alliances that shape the region's geopolitics. Beyond geopolitics, The Cradle also addresses social issues affecting the region, such as human rights, migration, and economic inequality.
Criticism
[edit]It is rated as left leaning on media bias websites.[3]
Some analysts and observers have pointed out that The Cradle's articles often emphasize narratives that are sympathetic to Iran, Syria, and other regional actors opposed to U.S. influence in West Asia.[3] Supporters of The Cradle argue that the publication provides necessary counterpoints to mainstream media coverage, which they believe is often biased in favor of Western perspectives.[3]
