History

Syrian activists based in France established the Syrian Media Action Revolution Team (SMART) in April 2011. One of its co-founders was Chamsy Sarkis, who would later become the founder and CEO of SMART News Agency. SMART cooperates with other media organizations such as the Association for the Support of Free Media and Enab Baladi.[5] Part of their work included smuggling modems into Syria to broadcast content.[3]

In 2014, the European Endowment for Democracy, based in Brussels, Belgium, gave SMART a €129,000 grant.[3]

In September 2015, SMART News Agency and Okio Report released an interactive virtual reality video on the aftermath of the Battle of Jisr al-Shughur. On 26 September, Obada Ghazal, the SMART journalist who filmed the video, was killed by an airstrike in Taftanaz. Two days later, SMART's office in Deir ez-Zor was raided by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and two SMART staff members were abducted.[5]

In June 2016, SMART News Agency released another VR video, this time on the White Helmets in Aleppo.[6]
