The Bahraini press is a time-honoured school whose foundations were laid by pioneers and brilliant names in the sky of thought and enlightenment. Its history goes back to 1939, when Al-Bahrain newspaper was founded by the late Abdulla Al Zayed, the spiritual father of Bahraini journalism, to become the first weekly newspaper published in the Arabian Gulf region.
It developed thanks to the efforts of pioneers of thought, literature and journalism until it became a renowned school across the Gulf and the Arab world.
