- I would venture to think that an ideal newspaper would inform, educate and enlighten besides leaving that little something unsaid as food for thought over which its readers could reflect upon.
The Arab News is in a league of its own in this respect, as it celebrates the 35th anniversary of its founding.
Its reportage covers all angles across a wide spectrum of news from all over the world besides the human interest stories that make excellent light reading. Your coverage and generation of debate on a range of social issues in this region is truly commendable.
Surely with such editorial standards your newspaper could look forward to a wonderful future.
My best wishes to Arab News on the 35th anniversary of its founding. Ad multos annos!
