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
