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
