Newspapers in Kuwait are published in English, French and Urdu, in addition to Arabic.[1] The number of newspapers published reached the peak in 2009, when there were 14 Arabic dailies, three English dailies and a dozens weekly newspapers in Kuwait.[2] But the numbers decreased since then either on account of the 2008 financial crisis and the increase of digital news sources or by government censorship.
Al-Kuwait Al-Yawm, first published in 1954,[3] is solely the government gazette used for public matters and not used for journalistic reporting. Publishing certain actions in the gazette is necessary for them to become legally valid, like in instances of name changes.
