A Media Planner's View: Where to Place
Use L'Orient-Le Jour to reach Lebanese professionals, entrepreneurs and investors who read in French. Print display on news and economy pages works for brand and corporate messaging, while the website suits targeted, time-sensitive campaigns for property, banking and premium services.
L'Orient Today adds an English-language audience for the same brief. Our team plans both together, with newsletters and apps available as extra touchpoints for campaigns that need frequency among engaged readers.

L'Orient-Le Jour is the reference French-language daily in Lebanon, with a history that reaches back a century.

How we would use it. Our team would combine print display in the main news and economy pages with premium website placements, and use French creative as the lead language. English adaptation suits L'Orient Today, and Arabic adaptation can extend reach to wider Lebanese audiences.
Our guidance. Lebanon's readers move between French, Arabic and English, so our expert team at Masscom Global sets the language mix and the placement calendar around your target segment.
