MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN DUBAI

The print media market in the emirate is defined by a linguistic split between state-linked Arabic dailies and English-language broadsheets catering to the expatriate workforce. Dominant publications include Gulf News, a high-circulation English broadsheet launched in 1978, and Khaleej Times, the oldest English daily in the country. Arabic readers are primarily served by government-owned publications such as Al Bayan, a major daily founded in 1980, and the local news-focused Emarat Al Youm. Paperboy lists 13 newspapers in Dubai.
