About Arab Times

Major Daily Government-alignedRead with context

Arab Times is published by Dar Al-Seyassah Press, House & Publishing Complex. Ahmed Al-Jarallah has owned and served as editor-in-chief of Dar Al-Seyassah and Arab Times since acquiring the sister publication Al-Seyassah in 1967, maintaining direct oversight of the group's operations.

Biasly rates Arab Times with 'Limited Reliability' and a 'Somewhat Left' bias, though a left/right spectrum is less applicable in Kuwait's media environment. The outlet operates within a 'partly-free' press environment where major newspapers generally avoid significant criticism of the government due to legal restrictions on speech against the emir, judicial officials, or religious figures. Local media in Kuwait also engage in self-censorship. While the outlet is an established daily, its editorial independence is influenced by the country's restrictive media laws and its ownership structure, suggesting readers should compare its coverage with other sources.

Reading context

Media systems vary by law, ownership, and editorial custom. We preserve each outlet's framing and add context so readers can compare coverage without treating one country as the default.
