Kuwait has one of the Gulf's most established and respected newspaper industries, with a vibrant Arabic and English press that has played a pivotal role in shaping public discourse across the Arab world. Kuwait was a pioneer of press freedom in the Gulf region, with a newspaper tradition dating back decades and a media landscape that serves both its diverse citizenry and the large expatriate community — which makes up around 70% of the population.
Among the most widely read Kuwaiti newspapers online is Al-Qabas, one of the Arab world's most respected investigative dailies. Al Rai is Kuwait's highest-circulation Arabic newspaper, while Kuwait Times — the Gulf's oldest English-language newspaper, established in 1961 — and Arab Times serve the country's large expat community. The official Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) is the authoritative source for government news and official statements.
