About Saudi Gazette
The Saudi Gazette is published by the Okaz Organization for Press and Publication, which was founded in 1960 and formalized as a civil society institution via a 1964 royal decree. While controlled by senior Saudi business figures, the outlet operates within a media environment subject to substantial government oversight and regulatory pressures that align its content with national interests.
Media Bias/Fact Check assesses the Saudi Gazette as 'left-center biased' within a Saudi context, noting its pro-reform stance but also its function in promoting pro-state propaganda and its 'Mixed' factual reporting. Operating in a country with virtually no press freedom, as consistently reported by organizations like Reporters Without Borders and Freedom House, the outlet has little choice but to align with government policies. This is reflected in its coverage, which emphasizes national achievements, diplomatic activities, and government initiatives, with an absence of critical reporting on the monarchy or state policies.
