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
