Designed to stimulate fair competition and acknowledge outstanding contributions to local and regional media, these awards reflect the commitment to fostering the growth of Saudi media on both local and Arab fronts. The Saudi Media Forum 2024 promises to be a dynamic convergence of innovation, excellence, and a celebration of media accomplishments.
