Azzaman

"Azzaman" is a daily Iraqi newspaper. It publishes a domestic edition in Baghdad and is distributed across Iraq, and it maintains an international edition published in English, and is also available online. A recent poll conducted by researchers at Baghdad University found that readers in southern Iraq regard Azzaman as "neutral and independent" as well as "highly objective", and that it is the most popular news source in the area. [Mustafa al-Hashemi. " [http://www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/article/13941 Iraqi readers in south prefer Azzaman – survey] ." "Iraq Update". 28 January 2007] The international edition is fiercely critical of the U.S. occupation in its editorials, accusing U.S. leaders of violating "every single article of international conventions laid down to regulate the behavior of occupation troops" [Imad Allo.

"Azzaman". 13 June 2006] and of deploying "shallow, naive, and childish" rhetoric to defend their goals in the region.

It should be noted that the Azzaman daily newspaper, not "Azzaman In English", which tells a completely different story, was the news source described by readers as "neutral and independent". [Mustafa al-Hashemi. " [http://www.iraqupdates.com/p_articles.php/article/13941 Iraqi readers in south prefer Azzaman – survey] ." "Iraq Update". 28 January 2007] The actual Azzaman daily can be viewed online in English with the help of an online translator, such as Google Translator.
