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
