The front page of the first issue of Arab News (20 April 1975) Arab News offers a variety of news ranging from politics and finance to sports and social events. One of the good examples of the transparency in media was a commentary written on the first anniversary of the attacks by Rasheed Abu Alsamh published in Arab News: First, we must stop denying that any of the hijackers were Saudis or even Arab. We must also stop saying that the September 11 attacks were a CIA-Zionist plot to make the Arabs and Islam look bad. That is utter nonsense. We must be mature and responsible enough to admit that these sick minds that hatched and perpetrated these dastardly attacks, were, sadly, a product of a twisted viewpoint of our society and our religion.We must stop the hatred being taught to our children in schools. On 8 May 2011, Hassan bin Youssef Yassin, a longtime aide to Foreign Minister, wrote in Arab News that the Arab countries had all failed miserably to offer either democracy or economic well-being.
