"There are 372 online media websites registered with the National Media Council; some are non-operational, while others use very basic design and graphics. They are also similar to existing media companies in terms of adopting a traditional economic, administrative and editorial model. In fact, there are not many media startups in Lebanon. These companies face major challenges, including inability to generate revenue, the type of content, and thus the number of readers, innovation on offer and companies interested in advertising on these media platforms. The most prominent media startups in Lebanon are ArabNet, Step Feed and Diwanee. There are also media companies taking their first steps in this field, such as Megafon, Figur-it, Daraj and Labneh&Facts." (Page 6)
