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
