Ali Gamal

Journalist, media professional, and builder of independent journalism platforms.

Ali Gamal

Background

Ali Gamal is a journalist and media professional with decades of experience reporting across the Middle East and internationally. His work spans politics, culture, crises, and public-interest reporting — with a consistent focus on verification and credibility.

Over the years, Ali has seen how local realities are often filtered through distant narratives, and how independent journalists struggle to earn sustainably despite doing the most valuable work: reporting from the ground.

Why Here News

Here News was created from a journalism-first perspective — not tech hype. The goal is to build a platform where local journalists can publish verified, location-based stories, earn for their contributions, and build reputation through a transparent trust system.

The differentiator is verification: identity-backed contributor profiles, peer validation, geo-tagged media evidence, and optional AI-assisted checks to flag inconsistencies and plagiarism.

How the Scientific Project connects

Here News is the platform. Individual initiatives are verticals that can live within it. The Scientific News Channel Project is a flagship initiative developed alongside Here News, applying the same principles of integrity and respect for primary sources — to science and heritage, with a focus on Arabic.

Both efforts share one foundation: protect truth from erosion — whether it is breaking news on the ground, or scientific knowledge across centuries.
