Doha News is an online news blog started in March 2009 by two American journalists, Shabina Khatri and Omar Chatriwala.[2] It is based in Qatar and provides its readers with daily reports on breaking domestic and international news stories.
They are blocked now . Nobody understands why . Some people think they were too much critical . Some people think they were brave .
I think they had some great articles but they were generally quite boring .They were posting even when there was nothing interesting to post about . Three times a day .To satisfy google robots and get indexed . They were also advertising themselves heavily .
One thing is sure - this ban on them is an excellent promotion . Now Al -Jazeera and BBC is writing about them ! For free !
If I were a conspiracy theorist I would say that was a plot to make them better known !
In case it was not a plot then I really feel with the writers ! Investing eight years in writing a blog then being banned all of a sudden and not even informed about the causes ! It is simply not fair !
It has terrible effect on other writers who will be afraid that they will be the next . It will cause self -censored articles . A fearful atmosphere ! Bad image about the country in all !
