Background Located in the southernmost portion of the Arabian Peninsula, the Republic of Yemen is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the north, the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden to the south, the Sultanate of Oman to the east, and the Red Sea to the west. [...] The authorities are divided into three independent entities: the executive authority, represented by the President of the Republic and the Council of Ministers, the legislative authority, and the judiciary. [...] During the first phase, in 1872, the Ottomans introduced the first print media to Northern Yemen for official use, the Yemen newsletter, which was the first publication in Yemen in the Turkish language. [...] During the third phase, the separation of South Yemen, and after the end of British colonialism in 1967 and the establishment of the Socialist Party of Yemen, almost all newspapers in the south were suspended. [...] Economy and Ownership Patterns Despite the many changes in the media landscape in Yemen over the last decades, the business models of the media remain almost the same.
