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
