We analyze both the editorial content and the layout treatment. The results showed a statistical significance in the use of different editorial forms to demonstrate the Arabic language topics in Al Arab Qatari newspaper as well as the use of different layout techniques such aspositioning, size, headline style and the accompanying visual elements. Future studies can compare the influence of different journalistic practices on national identity.
