The
Dubai Press Club was established in
November 1999. The aim of the Dubai
Press Club is to foster interaction
among journalists and media professionals
from around the world, to promote exchange
of ideas between the newsmakers and
the news communicators, and to create
a world-class facility that fosters
pursuit of journalistic excellence.
In
just two years time Dubai Press Club
has established itself as an important
forum where Presidents, Prime Ministers
and other leading political and business
leaders address and meet regional
and international media professionals.
The
Dubai Press Club has launched the
Arab world's first journalism awards.
These awards recognize and stimulate
the pursuit of journalistic excellence
in Arabic media.
The
Dubai Press Club has signed agreements
of collaboration with leading press
clubs from around the world.
A
number of Media Summits have also
been organised by the Dubai Press
Club. These Summits bring the who?s-who
from the world of media to Dubai.
The
Club provides excellent business and
social facilities for its members.
Indeed, the Dubai Press Club is now
a thriving forum for exchange of ideas.
It is an integral part of the media
industry in the Middle East and is
contributing to the emergence of Dubai
