Someday, within the mid-90s a billionaire tycoon needed to take over the Annahar newspaper (no names hehe). Having caught wind of that, the Annahar administration spearheaded by the late Ghassan Tueni, launched an advert contained in the paper that went:
الجريدة التي لا يمولها القارئ يمولها المجهول
The newspaper which isn’t funded by the reader is funded by the unknown.
And guess which newspaper has had a significant funding from readers in a drive which has not been equaled up to now? The Guardian! Truly, they’ve a brand new marketing campaign that actually says “Not on the market” and the second display goes “we’re funded by readers not billionaires”. Whereas Annahar was omnious and threatening, The Guardian goes with a a lot lighter tone and colours – however with the identical concept at base.
Pity on the time cameras weren’t rampant for me to document the Annahar advert, however belief me on my reminiscence individuals!
