One year ago today, Thomson Reuters unveiled the new look ZAWYA.com to the world. With a clear new design, new writers and new editorial elements the website filled a much-needed void in the business publishing sphere.

Over the last 12 months the website has gone from strength to strength and in April it was revealed that ZAWYA.com was ranked #1 amongst GCC English business publications on the Effective Measure rankings.

Our website is read by and reaches more people than any other leading online publication, which is a testament to the trust that you, our readers, have in our style of journalism, news curation and scope of content.

We are humbled by this show of confidence from you and look forward to continuously servicing our markets with the highest quality of trusted news and actionable business information.

To celebrate the first 12 months since the redesign here (in no particular order) are some of our favourite stories from the past year.
