Samir Kassir
SKeyes Center for Media and Cultural Freedom was established by the Samir Kassir Foundation in November 2007 in Beirut, Lebanon. The "S" and "K" in SKeyes stand for "Samir Kassir", which is a tribute to the slain Lebanese journalist. Currently, SKeyes operates in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Jordan through its network of correspondents and publishes online reports on cultural and press freedom in these countries, though it hopes to expand its scope to cover the entire Arab world in the future.
