Qatar The Media
Qatar has no official censorship, but newspapers
recognize
the need for self-censorship in not publishing material
critical
of the ruling family, the government, or religious issues.
The
privately owned press consists of three Arabic
dailies--Ar
Rayah (The Banner), Al Arab (The Arab), and
Ash
Sharq (The East)--and an English daily, Gulf
Times.
The Ministry of Information and Culture operates the Qatar
News
Agency, the Qatar Broadcasting Service, and the Qatar
Television
Service.
