The art of journalistic article in the Sultanate of Oman did not attain enough academic studies as researchers focused on the art of poetry, story and novel. Therefore, I decided to shad light on this subject by studying the literary and criticism article published in the weekly Cultural Supplement of Oman Daily Newspaper.
At the outset, the study described the circumstances in which the Omani article originated and the role of the African emigration press in sharpening the skills of Omani writers and flourishing the newspaper articles. The weak and the strong points of the Weekly Supplement were also discussed.
The Supplement dealt with different local and international issues in both literature and criticism areas. The Supplement attracts many writers which contributed to the emerge of a generation of Omani intellectuals. It was noticed that at the beginning the Supplement focused on the literary heritage and old poetry, at the end of the eighties the writers diverted their attention to modern Arabic poetry.
The study also explained and analyzed the artistic features of some writers. They differ in terms of vocabulary, rhetoric and approach to the subject. One of the important features of the supplement is the reflection of the writer background in his style.
At the end, the study sited some recommandatios, proposals to boost the intellectual and cultural progress in Oman.
