Al-Hayat newspaper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al-Hayat ("Life"-- الحياة) is one of the leading daily pan-Arab newspaper, with a circulation of almost 300 000. It is the newspaper of record for the Arab diaspora and the preferred tribune for left-wing or liberal intellectuals who wish to express themselves to a large public. Originally Lebanese, Al-Hayat was bought in 1990 by the Saudi prince Khalid bin Sultan. Rather pro-West and pro-Saudi concerning articles about the Arabic peninsula, it is quite open to various opinions concerning other regional questions. Al-Hayat prints in London, New York, Beirut, and Riyadh. It started a special Saudi edtition beginning in 2005 and sells over 150 000 copies a day. It has offices all over the world, including Baghdad, Beirut, Damascus, Jerusalem, Cairo, Khartoum,Istanbul, Algeria, Paris, Vienna, London, New York, and Washington.
