Qatar News Agency was established on May 25, 1975 by Amiri Decree No. 94 of 1975, making it the second Gulf news agency that focuses on news of the Gulf region. It became one of the Qatari achievements in the media field.

In all of its news broadcasts, QNA is keen on maintaining credibility, objectivity and impartiality. It follows up on all events of interest to the State of Qatar at various levels, internally and externally.
