About Asharq Al-Awsat
Asharq Al-Awsat was founded in London in 1978 with the approval of the Saudi royal family and government ministers. It is owned by the Saudi Research and Media Group (SRMG), a company closely aligned with the Saudi government. Faisal bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a member of the Saudi royal family, owns the newspaper, and Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal's Kingdom Holding Company holds a significant stake in SRMG.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Asharq Al-Awsat as having a right-center bias and mixed factual reporting, noting its consistent publication of information favorable to the Saudi government, which it labels as propaganda. Grokipedia also highlights a right-leaning bias and occasional lapses in factual accuracy, particularly in politically charged stories that favor pro-Saudi narratives. While headquartered in London and aiming for pan-Arab reach, its editorial line often reflects Saudi foreign policy priorities. The media environment in Saudi Arabia is classified as 'not-free' by Reporters Without Borders and Freedom House, with strict state control and severe restrictions on press freedom.
