\n

Journalist Talal Salman, who founded one of Lebanon’s largest Arabic-language<\/a> independent newspapers, died Friday after a long illness, the state-run National News Agency said. He was 85.<\/p>\n

An Arab nationalist whose role model was late Egyptian President Gamal Abdul-Nasser, Salman devoted much of his writing to the Palestinian cause and calls for Arab unity.<\/p>\n

Salman worked for several publications before founding the daily As-Safir in March 1974. The newspaper, which quickly became one of the country’s largest, identified itself as “Lebanon\u2019s newspaper in the Arab World and the Arab World\u2019s newspaper<\/a> in Lebanon” and published under the slogan “Voice of the Voiceless.”<\/p>\n

Prominent journalists and writers from Lebanon and the region wrote for As-Safir and Salman was editor-in-chief until the paper closed down on Dec. 31, 2016, because of financial difficulties. After the newspaper ceased publication, Salman continued to write on a website that carried his name.<\/p>\n

An early contributor to As-Safir was the late Palestinian cartoonist<\/a> Naji al-Ali, who created a character known as Handala that became a symbol of Palestinian identity. Readers also anticipated the editorials in which Salman analyzed the latest developments in Lebanon, the Middle East and the world.<\/p>\n

In 1984, at the height of Lebanon\u2019s 15-year civil war, Salman survived an assassination attempt in front of his Beirut apartment. There were earlier attempts to blow up his house and As-Safir\u2019s printing offices.<\/p>\n

Born in 1938 in the northeastern town of Shmustar in Lebanon\u2019s fertile Bekaa Valley, Salman later moved to Beirut and lived there much of his life.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife, Afaf al-Asaad, daughters Hanadi and Rabia, and sons Ahmad and Ali. Salman also had several grandchildren.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
