About Times of Oman
Times of Oman is published by Muscat Media Group (MMG) SAOC, founded in 1975 by Essa bin Mohammed Al Zedjali. The current Chairman of MMG and Editor-in-Chief of Times of Oman is Mohammed Essa Al Zedjali, and the CEO is Ahmed Essa Al Zedjali. A sister publication, Al Shabiba, was co-founded by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik.
Times of Oman is the oldest English-language newspaper in Oman, with a stated mission to promote Oman locally and internationally. The Omani media environment is 'not-free,' characterized by legal restrictions on freedom of expression, a ban on criticizing the sultan, and widespread self-censorship among journalists. Media outlets, including private ones, often accept government subsidies and face penalties for crossing 'political redlines.' A new media law issued in November 2024 grants the Ministry of Information extensive discretion to restrict media content. The provided headline sample primarily covers international sports, general international news, and local tourism, consistent with an outlet operating within a constrained media environment that avoids politically sensitive topics. The newspaper has also issued warnings to its readers regarding fake social media accounts mimicking its online presence.
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.
