The Dubai Media Council has launched ‘One Media Dubai’, a one-stop-shop for Emirati, Arab, and foreign media professionals and organizations to obtain a range of exclusive services in the emirate.
The One Media Dubai, which was launched in collaboration with several governments and semi-government bodies in Dubai, streamlines the provision of services to media companies and professionals.
The launch of the ‘One Media Dubai’ is aligned with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Media Council to support professionals working in local, regional and international media institutions.
