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
