Political Position
Al Watan is one of the most liberal newspapers in Saudi Arabia, the other one is Okaz.
It is further considered to be one of the most pro-reform newspapers in the country.

World Association of Newspapers considers Al Watan as an outspoken paper, although newspapers in Saudi Arabia express more or less similar views on critical topics.
