The Ministry of Media ({{lang-ar|وزارة الإعلام}}) is one of the governmental bodies of Saudi Arabia and part of the cabinet. The main function of the ministry is to regulate the media of Saudi Arabia and the communications between Saudi Arabia and other countries.[1][1] It is headquartered in Riyadh.[2]

History

The ministry was founded in 1962 as the ministry of information.[3][4] In 2003, its portfolio was expanded to include cultural affairs and was renamed as the ministry of culture and information.[3][4]later, on 1 June 2018 the culture was separated from the media resulting in two different ministries; Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Media. That because of media changes in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the need to keep pace with the media sector to achieve the ambitious vision of our country.

Iyad bin Amin Madani served in the post between February 2005[5] and 14 February 2009.[6][7] His successor was Abdulaziz Khoja.[7] Khoja's appointment was regarded as part of the then King Abdullah's reform initiatives.[8] His tenure as the minister of culture and information ended on 29 January 2015 when Adel Al Toraifi was appointed to the post.[9]

On 22 April 2017, Dr. Awwad Alawwad was appointed to lead the Ministry. Dr Alawwad’s primary mandate is to revitalize the culture and media industries at home, support government communications abroad and strengthen Saudi Arabia’s cultural relations around the world.[10]

On 27 December 2018, Turki Al-Shabana was appointed as Minister of Media replacing Awwad Alawwad who has been appointed as a Royal Court advisor.[11]

Organization and activities

Censorship

{{Main|Censorship in Saudi Arabia}}

The ministry has "responsibility for all the Saudi media and other channels of information".[16] The ministry has been called the "main agent of censorship" in the kingdom.[16] It is charged with the purification of culture prior to it being permitted circulation to the public. A special unit, the management of publications department, "analyzes all publications and issues directives to newspapers and magazines" stating that way in which a given topic must be treated.[12]

Censorship is strict enough for works of the minister of culture and information himself: the former minister Abdulaziz Khojah's own works of poetry were banned in Saudi Arabia.[13]

Other bodies

The ministry also oversees the activities of the following bodies: King Fahd Cultural Centre, Administration of Folklore, Saudi Society for Culture and Arts, General Administration of Cultural Activities and Literary Clubs, and General Administration for Literary Clubs.[3] It is also responsible for the activities of the General Administration for Public Libraries and the General Administration for Cultural Relations.[3] The Saudi Press Agency is also part of the ministry.[3]

In London and Tunis, the ministry has information offices.[3]
