Despite the world going digital, people still prefer to read newspapers for their daily dose of news and analysis. I am an avid reader of newspapers and Arab News is one of my preferred source of news in the Kingdom. There are still times when a good old-fashioned paper is a much better choice of communication than an electronic message to make a major point.
Waiting for the morning newspaper to be delivered to us has its own charm. Sitting with a cup of coffee and relaxing with a morning paper is an experience that many people enjoy. Arab News provides this satisfaction. Although much of it may be online, there is usually some great content that is available only in the newspaper. In addition, rapid strides in technology, has provided multi-platforms but the newspapers retain their old-world charm with a new look. Reading Arab News means that I am informed about all news related to economics, sports, politics and social subjects.
I wish Arab News a happy 39th anniversary with the hope that it continues on its news-breaking path and to see further improvement in the content and enjoy the status as the most widely read Arab News, daily published from Saudi Arabia.
