Sky News announces new bureau in Dubai Media City

BREAKING NEWS: Sky News will open a new bureau in Dubai in March.

Sky News has announced that it is to open a new foreign bureau in Dubai.

Plans to open a bureau in the region have been under consideration since early 2008, and Sky News has now confirmed that it will open its doors in March.

Sky News reporter Ashish Joshi has been named as the new correspondent and will be based in Dubai's Media City district.

The new bureau will consist of two additional permanent members of staff working alongside Joshi - a producer and a cameraman.

Sky's head of Foreign News, Adrian Wells, said: "With the current financial crisis deepening every day among most of the world's leading economies, the economy of the UAE is one of very few examples of resilience.

"This, coupled with current cultural shifts in the Middle East which have far reaching effects across the world, make it a compelling region to cover in more depth - this is a prefect time to cement our presence in the region."
