It is also a part of disinformation to conclude that he is in his job despite all rumblings and poor performance. However, the truth is that Arab News and the other group publications have prospered due to Khaled Al-Maeena's public relations and journalistic work.
The late HRH Prince Ahmad Ibn Salman was very fond of Khaled Al-Maeena and so are the other sons of Prince Salman including HRH Dr. Faisal Ibn Salman chairman of the company that publishes the newspaper, who in June 2008 honored Khaled Al-Maeena for his 10 long years of dedicated service to Arab News and the company.
