Everything about Asharq Al-awsat totally explained

Asharq Al-Awsat (The Middle East) is a major pan-Arabic daily newspaper, with a circulation of 200,000, printed simultaneously in twelve cities on four continents. It was founded in 1978 in London, United Kingdom by Jihad Al Khazen and Adel Bishtawi. It is still based in London, but it's now edited by the Saudi Research and Marketing Ltd. and directed by Saudi prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz, half-brother of the king.
   Since 1990 Asharq Al-Awsat has had increasing success and is distributed both in the Middle East and in the Maghreb, especially in Morocco. It is known for its slogan "International Newspaper of the Arabs" as it covers both Arab and international affairs. Asharq Al-Awsat was the first Arabic daily newspaper to introduce satellite transmission for simultaneous printing in a number of major cities worldwide, and is currently the only newspaper to own the Arabic copyright of international print syndications of the Washington Post, USA Today and Global Viewpoint. The newspaper's editorial part publishes a large part of translations from the international press, and its news pages are almost only made on news agencies' cables translated in Arabic. Asharq Al-Awsat has been present on the Internet since December 1995, and it also offers an English translation of parts of its articles.
   One of the most successful editors in chief of the newspaper, Abdulrahman Al Rashid, went on to become the managing director of the Middle East prominent news channel, Al Arabiya. His achievements were profiled in The New York Times in January 2008.
