Al Madina (Arabic: المدينة, lit. 'The City') is a newspaper published in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The paper is one of the oldest newspapers published in the country. Al Madina was founded — as a weekly publication, under the name of Al Madinah al Munawarah (Arabic: Madinah the Radiant) by Hisham Hafiz's uncles, Othman and Ali Hafiz, as a weekly newspaper. Its first issue appeared on 8 April 1937. Later, it became semi-weekly. The publication of the paper was ceased during World War II which resumed following the war. The paper was renamed as Al Madinah in 1958, and its headquarters was moved to Jeddah in the early 1960s. On 18 January 1964 Al Madinah was banned by the Lebanese Information Ministry due to its reports which were considered to be harmful to Lebanon's reputation and national consciousness.
