Since its launch in 1975, Arab News has established itself as the authoritative exclusive English publication in the Kingdom. The newspaper is the first English daily newspaper in Saudi Arabia and offers its readers in-depth analysis and editorials as well as the latest news from the Kingdom, Arab world and the international scene, including politics, business and finance. Everyday Arab News reports news and events that affect the interests of its readers. That is why Arab News is the most preferred English-language daily especially among educated decision-makers with affluent lifestyles and sophisticated tastes.
The innovative changes and upgrades, which have been made in recent years have taken the publication to a new level and reaffirmed its market leading position in the Kingdom. Arab News has set the benchmark of media innovation in the Kingdom. They are showing constant evolution to raise the ceiling for journalism within the country and in region entirely, in content, quality and depth and presentation. Readers can always expect the best from Arab News and that is a challenge they have taken on since the launch of the first Arab News edition almost four decades ago.
Over the recent years, Arab News has been perfectly developing content specifically designed for young readership, be it technology, news and features or new education and health trends.
Arab News has been a major source of information for me for the local and regional news. Stories on different pages and the entertainment section all have played a major role in bringing out the information that I always wanted to read. In the newspaper, the business section is my favorite one, where I can find business review, statistics on the Kingdom and GCC states’ market along with other business-related stories that has been of my personal interest.
Arab News boasts a rich record of outstanding achievements, as it was among the first Saudi newspapers to have introduce creative and modern technology, established a website with rich-content, ensured active updates in social networks and published specialized editions devoted to the foreign embassies and consulates’ national and cultural events within the Kingdom.
I hope that Arab News will continue to focus on creating informative and meaningful quality content for loyal readers in order to help grow the paper’s readership in both print and digital platforms.
