The Saudi Journalists Association has announced the first Saudi Media Forum under the slogan Media Industry: Opportunities and Challenges, and the launching of the Saudi Media Award to take place in conjunction with the forum to be held by the end of November 2019. The Saudi Media Forum aims to provide the opportunity for Saudi media professionals and other prominent Arab and foreign media figures to meet and discuss the development and challenges facing the industry. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Saudi Journalists Association Khalid Al-Malik said the forum is one of the association's initiatives that is set to become an annual event to cement Riyadh's name as the Arab Media Capital and will also boost the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's reputation as a leading country in the global political and economic arena. He added that this forum will open the way for further discussions, put forward views about the media industry in general and create dialogue with others to better understand global and regional practices.
