Ya right! Editor heads a paper which will only be read by western expats. And most of the so called journalists from UK, USA, Australia and South Africa were either interns in their native countries or at the lowest level. So a higher salary and position in the UAE is definitely an ego boost for them.

Delusions of adequacy
Posted by The Consultant at 18:12 UAE time
"It's appalling" - a phrase that could equally be applied to the quality of the English in many articles produced by "seasoned" Asian journalists for other daily papers in the UAE.

Correction - this is Not the "first" English paper in Abu Dhabi
Posted by Nauae at 17:45 UAE time
Abu Dhabi had it's first English newspaper close on 30 years ago in the shape of Emirates News - that was published up until just a few years ago. It was the "official" English language paper for most Federal announcements although its readership declined as the Dubai papers became more popular.

So many seasoned Asian journalists who have experience in the UAE media had applied for this paper, but the editor only hired western expats. Its appaling!

Eager to see coverage

The more quality newspapers we have in the UAE, the better the journalistic standards could get, particularly with more and more professional journalists from around the world being brought in.
Having grown up in the UAE and also from the point of view of being a journalist in the UAE, I can vouch for the fact that reporting standards have increased rapidly and so has journalistic freedom. One hopes that responsible and objective reporting will be a key value and that issues like human rights will be covered to match international standards.
Of course, journalistic integrity would also be key as the other side of the coin.
