The members and the board of the National American Arab
Journalists Association (NAAJA) wish to express their sincere condolences to
Osama Siblani, the Arab American News Newspaper, and family on the tragic
passing this week of Marianna Kay Siblani.
Kay Siblani was a respected member of the American Arab
journalism community and an editor at the important Arab American News
newspaper based in Detroit.
Kay Siblani was a professional and her efforts helped to
make the Arab American News Newspaper one of the best weekly American Arab
newspapers in the country. Her role as an editor also challenge the stereotype
against women in journalism, breaking the glass ceiling.
It is with great sorrow that the members of NAAJA express
our condolences on this tragic loss of an icon of American Arab journalism.
Sincerely,
Ray Hanania
National Coordinator
