AlJeebal Media ({{lang|ar|الجبال}}) is a digital news organization that commenced operations in 2023. Its headquarters are in Erbil, which serves as the capital of Iraq's Kurdistan Region. The outlet focuses on producing Arabic-language material concerning political, economic, and social affairs throughout Iraq and the wider Middle Eastern region.{{Cite web |title=معلومات عنا |url=https://www.aljeebal.com/about |access-date=2025-06-11 |website=Aljeebal {{!}} الجبال |language=en}}

Under the name AlJeebal ({{lang|ar|الجبال}}), its reporting priorities include domestic governance, the activities of civil society, and developments in international affairs. AlJeebal Media operates exclusively as a digital platform. Content distribution occurs via its main website and associated social media channels, with no involvement in print or television broadcasting.

In April 2025, a media monitoring bulletin from the Council of Representatives of Iraq made note of AlJeebal Media. This mention was in the context of the Arab Parliament session held in Baghdad.{{Cite web |title=الرصد الإخباري لمجلس النواب بخصوص جلسة البرلمان العربي |url=https://iq.parliament.iq/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/الرصد_الاخبار_لمجلس_النواب_بخصوص_جلسة_البرلمان_العربي_واجتماعات-2.pdf |access-date=2025-05-08 |website=Council of Representatives of Iraq |format=PDF}} Furthermore, Iraqi news entities, among them Wishe, have also referenced AlJeebal.{{Cite web |title=سوودانی خۆی سەرپەرشتیی دۆسیەی لێكۆڵینەوەی كارگە تریاكەكەی یەكێتی دەكات |url=https://wishe.net/details.aspx?=hewal&jmare=176376&Jor=14 |access-date=2025-05-08 |website=Wishe.net}}

Academic commentary includes a 2024 report in Polish by InfoOps Poland, which characterized AlJeebal as part of an increasing trend in independent Kurdish digital journalism.{{Cite web |title=PROJEKT ALBATROS II MENA |url=https://infoops.pl/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IRAK_RAPORT_Badanie_srodowiska_informacyjnego.pdf |access-date=2024-12-05 |website=infoops.pl |format=PDF |language=pl}} Subsequently, in May 2025, an article from ITHY looked into AlJeebal's evolution and editorial emphasis. The ITHY piece pointed to its digital-first model within the broader Iraqi media environment.{{Cite web |title=AlJeebal: A Rising Star in Iraqi Digital News |url=https://ithy.com/article/aljeebal-iraqi-digital-news-faykkqdw |website=ITHY |access-date=2025-05-08}}

Regarding its specific journalistic output, a piece published on the Medium platform in May 2025 indicated that AlJeebal's reporting has covered politically sensitive topics. The same source mentioned coverage of environmental crises, issues affecting underrepresented groups, and national events.{{Cite web |last=Kev |first=Jed |date=2025-05-25 |title=Advantages and disadvantages of AlJeebal Media in Iraq and abroad |url=https://midnews.medium.com/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-aljeebal-media-in-iraq-and-abroad-e11d988aa58e |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250525111723/https://midnews.medium.com/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-aljeebal-media-in-iraq-and-abroad-e11d988aa58e |archive-date=2025-05-25 |website=Medium}}
