Al-Hoda (Template:Langx) was a daily Arabic-language newspaper in New York City. It was founded in Philadelphia as a bi-weekly by Naoum Anthony Mokarzel, a young Maronite Lebanese man with an interest in journalism.[1] Its first issue came out on February 22, 1898. The paper's offices moved to New York City in 1902, where it became a daily, beginning on August 25.
This was one of the first Arabic language newspapers in the United States.[2] It was the first Arabic language newspaper to use Arabic character linotype rather than hand-setting.[3] Mokarzel remained the paper's owner and chief editor until his death in 1932. The editorship was then assumed by Naoum's brother Salloum, who held it until 1952.[1] Salloum Mokarzel also founded The Syrian World—a journal that published articles on the history and culture of Syria.
The newspaper closed in September 1972.[3]
