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
