Bahrain has one of the Gulf's most cosmopolitan media landscapes, reflecting the island nation's historic role as a trade and financial hub at the heart of the Arabian Gulf. Bahraini newspapers serve a diverse population — over 50% expatriate — publishing in both Arabic and English to serve citizens, Gulf residents, and the large South Asian expat community. Despite its small size, Bahrain hosts the headquarters of several major Gulf media organisations and is home to the Bahrain International Circuit, which hosts the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix.
Among the most widely read Bahraini newspapers online is Gulf Daily News, the Kingdom's leading English daily. Al-Watan and Al Ayam are the major Arabic dailies, while the official Bahrain News Agency (BNA) provides authoritative government news in both languages. For sports, Bahrain is uniquely known for the Bahrain International Circuit — host of the Formula 1 season opener — and the Bahrain Olympic Committee.
