The GSN philosophy
GSN is the established and authoritative source of information on the people, politics and resources of the Gulf region. Published fortnightly since 1974, Gulf States Newsletter (GSN) has a strong focus on the personalities and trends shaping the Gulf, from the established order to the emerging new generation political and business leaders and their influence in key areas such as government policy, security and defence, and finance and industry.
GSN has become a fixture on the Gulf scene by reporting with refreshing frankness about a region where transparency and plain-speaking are often in short supply. GSN does not just rewrite press releases or wire copy like so many web-based news aggregators and ‘information portals’. Our information is based on independent research and staff expertise.
Through its independent, investigative approach to reporting, GSN has established a track record of delivering information and intelligence on the Gulf region in perspectives undistorted by advertising, third-party media, government communication channels or power-hungry ‘sponsors’ or ‘backers’.
Our highly experienced editorial team is based in the UK, New York and Washington, with correspondents across the region – in some cases protecting themselves by filing anonymously. Many of GSN’s contributors live and do business in the Gulf, while editorial staff frequently visit and talk to top political and business figures, among a wide range of key contacts in the region and international centres of power.
GSN has a long shelf-life: it is held as a source of record and learning in leading academic institutions, as well as by government departments and corporate information centres.
GSN’s regular coverage includes:
* In-depth analysis of the latest political and security developments, including elections, succession issues, new policy platforms, geopolitical spats and tensions and terrorist alerts and concerns.
* Royals watch: a country by country survey tracking the movement, decisions and behaviour of the ruling Gulf families.
* Defence concerns and capabilities: the deployment of armed forces and military procurement by countries in the region has been chronicled by GSN for more than 30 years.
* Energy – analysing the people and policies shaping the Gulf’s energy industries, with in depth analysis of new deals and companies operating in the region.
* Financial risk: analysis of significant trends in the Gulf financial world - from sovereign and personal wealth to Islamic finance and project and trade finance.
* Equities markets, foreign exchange and trade payment indicators.
* Risk management reports: highlighting the political risks and economic developments that impact on the business environment and investment decisions.
