Okaz honors Anas Al-Yousef.
In its tribute, Okaz traces a career that moved from reporting into editorial leadership, then into changing how a newsroom reaches readers. The paper says Anas Ahmed Al-Yousef worked as a journalist in Arabic and English before rising through Saudi Gazette to become managing editor, combining content work with leading teams. He led the paper’s digital transformation and directly oversaw the development of its platforms and the early-2026 relaunch of its website and news app. Saudi Gazette later received a WAN-IFRA award for best news website relaunch in the Middle East. Al-Yousef also won Media Leader of the Year 2025 at the Athar Creativity Festival. Okaz is honoring him today for that broader run of journalism and media leadership.
