The Abu Dhabi Media Company said Monday it had previewed its new national English-language newspaper to media buying and advertising agencies ahead of its official launch next month.Editor-in-chief Martin Newland said a team of 200 internationally and locally recruited journalists would form the UAE’s biggest-ever news gathering operation to put together the country’s “first truly quality national and international newspaper.”
Newland, former editor of the UK’s Daily Telegraph and former launch editor of Canada’s National Post, told guests, “We believe the UAE needs a quality, national newspaper with the power to change the reading habits of progressive, discerning readers in the country.”
“Focused on the capital, Abu Dhabi, but anchored in the new social and political reality that is the emerging nation within a fast changing global context, the paper will offer fresh, compelling content that’s made in the UAE.”
The Abu Dhabi Media Company was established in 2007 as a public joint stock company from the assets of Emirates Media Incorporated.
It owns and operates media outlets including Abu Dhabi Television, Abu Dhabi Sports Channel, Emirates Television Channel and Abu Dhabi Radio. Source
