The

The

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

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

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

These
Summits
bring
the
who?s-who
from
the
world
of
media
to
Dubai.
The

provides
excellent
business
and
social
facilities
for
its
