Mass media in Yemen

Yemen's Ministry of Information influences the mass media through its control of printing presses, granting of newspaper subsidies, and ownership of the country's only television and radio stations. Yemen has nine government-controlled, 50 independent, and 30 party-affiliated newspapers. There are approximately 90 magazines, 50 percent of which are private, 30 percent government-controlled, and 20 percent party-affiliated. The government controls the content of news broadcasts and edits coverage of televised parliamentary debates.

Yemen's government usually monitors and blocks political and sexually explicit Web sites.[1] By law and regulation, newspapers and magazines must be government-licensed, and their content is restricted. There have been reports of journalists being physically attacked, as well as arrested and detained.[2] The government gives reasons that such detained journalists are "opposing the law and calling for destruction of infrastructure" and supports some examples as in Houthi insurgency in Yemen and retaliations against unity.

The official national news agency is the Saba News Agency.
