Gulf News[edit | edit source]
Gulf News is a prominent English-language daily newspaper published in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Established in 1978, it has grown to become one of the leading newspapers in the Middle East, providing comprehensive coverage of regional and international news, business, sports, and lifestyle.
History[edit | edit source]
Gulf News was first launched on September 30, 1978, by Abdul Wahab Galadari, a prominent businessman in the UAE. Initially, the newspaper was published in a tabloid format and was distributed only in Dubai. Over the years, it expanded its reach across the UAE and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
In 1985, the newspaper was acquired by Al Nisr Publishing, which led to significant investments in technology and infrastructure, allowing Gulf News to transition to a broadsheet format. This change marked a new era of growth and expansion for the publication.
