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 as
a worldwide information
