Western Influences
The Gazette’s management, however, survived. In 2003, Ahmed Al-Yousef, then the Saudi Gazette’s editor-in-chief, began bringing in experienced Western-trained journalists, which had been absent for many years, to help run the newsroom. He first hired Rhamzi Khoury, an American citizen of Palestinian descent.
Khoury established a journalism training program for Saudi men and women to learn Western-style news reporting, newspaper design and editing. Among the program's students were Saudis Sabria Jawhar, who now writes for the Huffington Post and is a columnist for the Arab News.

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or influences:
“Pictures are for entertainment, messages should be delivered by Western Union.”
—Samuel Goldwyn (1882–1974)
“Professors of literature, who for the most part are genteel but mediocre men, can make but a poor defense of their profession, and the professors of science, who are frequently men of great intelligence but of limited interests and education, feel a politely disguised contempt for it; and thus the study of one of the most pervasive and powerful influences on human life is traduced and neglected.”
—Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
