Protecting the message on petroleum | FT Alphaville:



"Fresh out of Riyadh…



Saudi Oil Minister Ali Al-Nuaimi Sunday proposed establishment of an association dedicated for petroleum media, which comprised of Gulf and Arab journalists covering energy affairs. Saudi Arabia is ready to support the establishment of this association with the objective of boosting transparency among GCC countries and prepare oil strategies of the Arab Gulf countries… 


Similar thoughts from Kuwait’s Minister of Oil, Dr Ali Al-Omair, speaking at the 2nd GCC Petroleum Media Forum:



Al-Omair, also Minister of State for parliament affairs, said media have been influencing economic policies including the oil ones. Media in the region should defend Gulf oil producers and defend their policies, said Al-Omair, but petroleum media should be “credible, transparent and influential.”"
