  • English Newspapers in the United Arab Emirates: Navigating the Crowded Market
    English newspapers in the United Arab Emirates: Navigating the crowded market By Peyman Pejman January, 2009. Dubai’s rapid growth has made the United Arab Emirates a global household name in the space of a few short years. A recent New York Times story referring to the country’s star emirate, perhaps put it best: "You name it, Dubai has it. Or if it doesn’t have it, it’s building it. Or if it’s not building it, it's dredging up an island to put it on.”1 Dubai’s growth has helped turn the United Arab Emirates, a country not yet forty years old, into a symbol of economic development for the rest of the region. But as the country debates its place in the global financial and political arena, there is another field in which the UAE will be tested, sooner rather than later: media development. As the country finds itself more tied to the global economy, English daily newspapers are realizing that the old system of uncritically reporting news in deference to political and business elites is no longer adequate if the papers want to be considered a player in the media market. They are realizing that timid reporting can no longer be washed off with a sea of advertising revenue and that good reporting is becoming more and more essential for earning respectability. This paper is based on first-hand interviews conducted with editors of all six daily English newspapers in the United Arab Emirates.2 As such, it is the most comprehensive research carried out on the topic to date.
