Introduction
The Kingdom of Bahrain is a significant GCC nation and has one
of the fastest-growing economies in the region. Over the years, it
has become well-known as a tourist destination as well as a global
financial hub. Among its neighbouring countries, it is also
considered the freest nation and has diversified its economy to a
high degree.
The country also has a large population of expats and receives
global recognition and news coverage regularly and when the need
arises. However, beyond the international news attention and
coverage, there are also many journalists within the country.
A new draft law has arisen, which looks to make specific changes
to the treatment of journalists in Bahrain. These specifically
relate to their safety when reporting on issues and topics that are
more controversial and opinionated.
