 * Article now says This was one of the first Arabic language newspapers in the United States.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 16:57, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Newspaper Closing Date?
This New York Times article indicates that the newspaper closed in September 1971. However, the Archives Center at the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of American History has a copy of an Al-Hoda newspaper dated December 12, 1986.


 * A clue is that the 1986 newspaper says "New al-Hoda" in the heading. It indicates that the newspaper reopened, or another newspaper with the same name opened (is there a difference?).  Also see both "al-Hoda" and "New al-Hoda" on this catalogue page The details need to be tracked down and added to the article. Zerotalk 01:54, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
