Sobhiye update - 3 months later, and the news is finally turning (hopefully for real this time)
Hey r/lebanon,
3 months ago I posted here about Sobhiye, the Lebanon newsletter. Quick update.
Bit of context: it started before the war as just a quick morning read. Five news sites/accounts + the family WhatsApp every morning was getting to be a lot. Then the war happened and the whole thing became something else - a bunch of you told me it was the only news source you weren't dreading at 8am, which honestly meant a lot. And now that things in Lebanon are slowly turning the corner - semi-functioning government, ceasefire holding, reconstruction starting in the south, finally - Sobhiye is shifting with it. More of the wins worth talking about, more reporting that holds people accountable, less doom.
New stuff since:
- Podcast version - a few of you asked for this in the comments last time. Same stories, \~5–10 min, if you'd rather listen than read.
- Games - there's a daily real estate price guesser now (guess what real Lebanese listings are asking, way more addictive than it should be: https://sobhiye.news/games/price), plus a Lebanese maps quiz and a daily news trivia.
- Sunday recap - for when you miss a few days during the week.
- Polymarket section with what prediction markets are pricing on stuff Lebanon cares about (regional politics, sports, world news).
- Referral system for sharing with the family WhatsApp group (you know the one).
Still free. Still daily. Still 3 minutes with your coffee.
If you tried it 3 months ago and it was rough, would love a second look. And if anything's annoying, tell me - most of what's good in there exists because people in this sub pushed me on it.
