MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN KUWAIT CITY

The newspaper market in the national capital is split between a robust Arabic-language daily press and English-language publications serving the expatriate workforce. Leading the Arabic readership are established dailies like Al Qabas, known for its independent editorial stance, and Al Rai, a widely circulated mass-market paper. For the non-Arabic speaking population, the Arab Times operates as a primary English-language daily broadsheet, while Al Anbaa maintains a long-standing presence as a traditional Arabic news source.
