Arab Detroit goes national this spring

Arab Detroit plans to celebrate its third birthday in May with its most aggressive expansion to date – Arab America.

The Dearborn-based start-up plans to go national this spring, expanding into the Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., markets. These markets combined with Detroit would give the all-Middle East-all-the-time website a presence in the metro areas containing 60 percent of the Middle Eastern population in the U.S.

"There really isn't anything like this," says Warren David, founder of Arab Detroit. "We are leading the Arab community in Internet technology."

David is a third generation Arab-American who runs his own public relations firm, David Communications, in Dearborn. Arab Detroit has turned into a destination website for people of Middle Eastern descent and interests, featuring blogs, podcasts, and even a partnership with WTVS for a TV show. Arab Detroit attracts tens of thousands of viewers each month and has almost as many subscribers.

David's staff of four employees and an independent contractor accommodate all of this content production. He expects to add a few more hires as Arab Detroit goes national.
