Al Arabiya News English and Saudi Gazette enter content sharing agreement

21 January 2013

I am proud to announce that Al Arabiya English and Saudi Gazette are now partners in bringing the most recent news and headlines into the Arab world.

Khaled al Maeena is a great friend and it is my pleasure to welcome the Saudi Gazette family as an extension to our fast growing Al Arabiya English family. I am sure both sides will benefit from the agreement as we have the same vision, which is to be able to provide news on the go.

Commenting on the agreement; Khaled Al-Maeena, Editor-in-Chief of The Saudi Gazette said “We are pleased to cooperate as we believe Al Arabiya’s professional editorial services will add value and a new dimension to our newspaper’s journalistic offerings”

“I have met Mr. Abbas and his team and was impressed by their dedication and professional abilities; we hope the cooperation between the two teams will provide further insight of this part of the world for English language readers”.

For my part, “The idea is derived from the conviction that quality content is able to take any shape or form; indeed, a video report can appear on television, be posted on our website, shared on social media or transcribed and republished in print format in a quality daily newspaper such as the Saudi Gazette.”

“We are also very pleased to be working with a veteran journalist of the caliber of Mr. Al-Maeena, the content we will be using from the Saudi Gazette will provide our readers with some valuable local insight and points of view.”
