Mint Press News (MPN) is a US news website established in January 2012, based in Minnesota.[1] Founded by Mnar A. Muhawesh, a Minnesota-born daughter of Palestinian immigrants, and journalism graduate of St. Cloud State University, it aims to bring foreign news to a US audience, with a particular focus on the Middle East.[2] In September 2013 it listed ten reporters on its website.[3]
In September 2013 MPN's reporting, based on interviews with rebels in Damascus, that the Al-Nusra Front was responsible for the 2013 Ghouta attacks attracted international attention.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
The editor has investors, “retired businesspeople”, but she will not name them — "unfortunate for a journalism operation fighting alongside people seeking transparency. The site's "About Us" page is similarly skinny." [10] Her father-in-law Odeh A. Muhawesh — an adjunct St. Thomas theology professor, and veteran Twin Cities businessman — is a key adviser.
