News Outlets

Hey fellow adventurers! Today I’ll be talking about Saudi news outlets. News outlets can have a huge impact on society while at the same time reflecting their views. For that reason, I think it’s important to look at popular news outlets in other countries. Though I’m sure I’m heavily biased because of my journalism major.

In broadcasting, there are five major tv companies: Dubai TV, the Middle East Broadcasting Center, the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International, Rotana Group and the Saudi Broadcasting Corporation. These companies make up 80% of the broadcasting market. However, due to the rise of the internet, there’s been a drop in the amount of people who watch tv on a regular basis. In 2014, approximately 65% of the population watched tv programs on a daily basis but that dropped to 49% in 2016.

Newspapers are another good source of information. These are some of the more popular newspapers in Saudi Arabia:

Like most places, the newspapers vary in focus along the lines of politics, religion, editorializing, consumer information, local/national/international news emphases, and economics. Newspapers have becoming more popular in Saudi Arabia due to the increase in literacy rates. Statistics suggest about 88% of males and 74% percent of females are literate compared with an early 1980s estimate of 15%. They’re even starting to circulate outside of Saudi Arabia now as well.

That’s all for today’s blog. Sorry it’s a bit short! But thank you so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!
