Romman is an independent Palestinian cultural magazine, dedicated to the arts and literature as well as politics, which it views as an essential part of the cultural landscape, particularly in the Levant, where the Palestinian cause has a direct impact. The magazine is committed to offering a broad platform for diverse perspectives, regardless of the content type. Rather than offering a cultural service or a neutral definition of Palestinian, Levantine, Arab, or global cultural outputs, it provides subjective views. Articles published in Romman reflect each of its writers’ opinions — it doesn’t publish "material about a subject" but rather "a writer’s take on a subject."

This approach may be unconventional in journalism, but it is central to Romman’s belief in the need to express opinions freely, think aloud, and uphold the right to critique any topic in writing or conversation.

Romman seeks to represent, or rather to be a part of, the Palestinians in Syria, Lebanon, the camps, and the diaspora, as well as those in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Romman believes that Palestine, as an idea, embodies life and beauty and thus must stand firmly opposed to all forms of tyranny — military, religious, civil, political, social, foreign or domestic. The magazine’s content emerges from this vision of Palestine, encompassing cultural, political, and social dimensions.
