The

in November 1999.
The aim of the

and media professionals

between the newsmakers
and the news communicators,
and to create

In
just two years
time Dubai Press

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

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

of media to
