هل قناة العربية الفضائية الإخبارية السعودية تابعة للملك السعودي سلمان؟
Salman and his family own a media group, including pan-Arab daily "Asharq Al-Awsat" and "Al Eqtisadiah". Though he owns only ten percent of the Saudi Research and Marketing Group (SRMG), he is often referred by auditors as its owner. He reportedly controls the organization through his son Prince Faisal, who is a former chairman of the concern. The SRMG publishes such daily papers as "Arab News", "Asharq Al-Awsat" and "Al Eqtisadiah" through its subsidiary Saudi Research and Publishing Company (SRPC).
In a similar vein, Salman is reported to have some strong alliances with significant journalists. He is said to be close to Al Arabiya TV director and "Asharq Al-Awsat" journalist Abdelrahman Al Rashid and to Othman Al Omeir, who launched and is the owner of the liberal e-newspaper "Elaph". King Salman is thought to have connections with the "Elaph" website.
