What I Cover

I write about Bahraini politics and the wider Gulf — policy and diplomacy, and the way regional currents eventually reach Manama and change the conversation here.

My Background

I've spent the better part of a decade on the regional-affairs beat, learning that the important story is usually the one nobody is briefing you on.

Journalistic Ethics

I aim for fairness across the aisle and verify before I frame. Access is useful, but it is never worth the price of telling readers less than I know.
