The National is a UAE state-owned English-language daily newspaper published in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[2]
According to the Financial Times, the newspaper "is seen as a mouthpiece for Abu Dhabi's worldview."[2] The newspaper toes the government line and self-censors on issues considered objectionable by the government.[2] The newspaper is owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, which is ruled by his brother, Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.[2]
