They shorten it.. sometimes add their own bits into it, etc.<BR/><BR/>Also, TradeArabia (web) seem to also like editing press releases.<BR/><BR/>All in all, there is no editorial content in local newspapers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1162369150868946962006-11-01T12:19:00.000+04:002006-11-01T12:19:00.000+04:00I see this as a common problem--there is too much ...<I>I see this as a common problem--there is too much reporting in the UAE, especially of the various new developments, that read like press releases. </I><BR/><BR/>That's because they are press releases.

Although, I'm a fan of all these things, I'd really like to see more critical reporting. With regard to Dubai Marina, for example, I would like, to read more critical reports in the Gulf News about say deaths and accidents at construction sites. Instead what we get are a lot of nice photos.B.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03604898558343997616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1162359761823068332006-11-01T09:42:00.000+04:002006-11-01T09:42:00.000+04:00Reminds me of the Philips Dubai offer of Free worl...Reminds me of the Philips Dubai offer of Free world cup tickets to reporters who give 'the best coverage' to the company during the World Cup.Wokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506371136332079076noreply@blogger.com
