Al Ayyam Publishing Foundation
In parallel, the Al Ayyam Publishing Foundation, an important institution for content, was founded in 1989 by a team of young Bahraini media professionals. This initiative was groundbreaking in the Arab world, as it aimed to create an employee-owned and managed media institution. The establishment of such institutions highlights the evolution of media ownership models in the region, giving journalists and media professionals a say in the operations and decision-making processes of organizations.
