MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN MANAMA
The newspaper market in the capital of Bahrain is defined by a linguistic split, catering to both Arabic-speaking readers and an international expatriate workforce. Leading the English-language press is the Gulf Daily News, the country's oldest English daily founded in 1978, which competes directly with the Daily Tribune. The Arabic-language sector is anchored by Akhbar Al Khaleej, the nation's first Arabic daily established in 1976, alongside Al Ayam, an independent broadsheet launched in 1989. Paperboy lists 10 newspapers in Manama.
