Now i get the news by twitter , local internet forums & scrolling through Alraya newspaper online .

It really saddens me the way our local press have become.

Self censoring has become suffocating

It also saddens me that i got to read some Qatari writers columns in email instead being published in a newspaper!!!

In one year time, renown writers like Nora Alsaad & Faisal Al Marzoqi stopped publishing new articles & an on line local news resource (QANEWS) was shutdown

The shutdown of QANEWS had made a big vacancy for Qatari intellects to exchange & discuss the news without being prosecuted by others for their ideology
