He also worked independently writing on legal affairs issues for the Los Angeles Daily Journal and true crime stories for True Detective magazine.

He later became the newspaper’s managing editor. As managing editor, he supervised the coverage of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s bombing and shooting attacks of Westerners and Saudi government institutions, and Saudi Arabia’s 2005 municipal elections among other issues. He also taught journalism courses to Saudi university students. In 2008, he assumed the editorship of the Dubai-based Construction Week magazine to cover the building boom in the United Arab Emirates.[7]

In 2012, he returned to Saudi Arabia to assume the post of managing editor at the Arab News.
