Gulf News
United Arab EmiratesGulf News is an English-language daily newspaper based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, founded in 1978. Its headlines are led by the Gulf states, Iran and the United States, followed by India, Israel, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Security is the largest part of the mix, with military and diplomatic topics prominent and economy close behind. Its stance is favourable toward the UAE and India, critical of Iran, and mixed toward Donald Trump and the United States.
Political leaning and stance
Gulf News headlines are favourable toward the United Arab Emirates in most months, ranging from broadly positive to supportive and promotional, and toward India, which is treated as a competent and authoritative actor. Iran is covered in critical and skeptical terms. Donald Trump and the United States alternate between neutral reporting and skeptical or critical framing, especially around the Iran conflict, with one summer month of respectful, amplifying treatment of Trump. This is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
