The Nesar Record is an independent media outlet based in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq that produces fact-based, feature writing and investigative journalism in the public interest.

Named after the Sorani Kurdish word for the “shady side of a mountain,” The Nesar Record identifies and reports stories that “cast a light in the shadow.”

The goal is to create a space for discussion about vital issues in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, and neighboring areas that other publications overlook.

The Nesar Record will fill this space.
