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
