Here are two discussion threads, plus there was one on an Emaar community site that you must belong to in order to read posts.

http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=410237 - [size=12]discussion on British expats[/size] forum, including a copy of one article that states that one journalist was sacked from 7Days

http://www.expatgossip.com/showthread.php?t=7032&page=5 - discussion on expatgossip.com on where 7Days went to in Emaar communities

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emaar - Wikipedia entry for Emaar says that Emaar banned the 7Days paper because there was criticism of the board of directors (are they royals?)

A blog called Dubai Media Observer - http://dubaimedia.blogspot.com/2007/05/ ... 7days.html

more CCRap..give me one reliable source ..and plz by reliable source i mean no forums no blogspot no gossip no expact descution..something is true and doe not relay on gossips and rumors

Its the Sheikh's little country, he can do what he wants in the end.

It is you who needs to try harder to open your eyes and see that the UAE media is full of sh.i.t journalism and people are sacked and run out of town for doing something that offends someone important. If you don't think this kind of thing happens in the UAE, then you have a nice tight, thick blindfold on.

this is all they got nauto .. blogs , mouth to mouth news and forums what else they got ?they trust those personal opinions .like I said before , non has a mind of his own to think or bother their lazy minds to figure out anything on their own.

Don't forget this great topic posted by quatroporte - http://dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=32371&highlight=

The Dubai Media Observer blog seems to be written by people who work in Dubai Media outlets. Also, Chocs works in media and said that she knows they can't publish or say anything negative. I guess the average Emirati citizen would know better than people working in the industry though.

:lol:

Chocoholic · Feb 10, 2009

Of course you won't find news articles, they're hardly going to publicise it are they?!

Like I said, I KNOW half the people who work in the media here, so I get the first hand inside info!

kanelli · Feb 10, 2009

Nah Chocs, they won't believe you. It is their country and they know everything that is going on and not going on. :lol:

and what would make them so trustable dear choc, have the sworn on th bible to tell the truth and nothing but the truth ? if you know the media cho you will know it is a business after all, how would a non popular one get the attention ? cnn bbc and other ones, don't seem to have those sort of news you ppl have ? explain, are they scared of UAE GOV, no but they are a bit more pro than the ones you read, don't you think?.

Chocoholic · Feb 10, 2009

Well seeing as I've experienced and seen it myself! Yes!

kanelli · Feb 10, 2009

Chocoholic · Feb 10, 2009

No. I know from my own experiences what goes on. If you choose not to believe it, then that's upto you, but it still doesn't mean it isn't fact.

naruto · Feb 10, 2009

what will make it a fact ..YOU

K-Dog · Feb 10, 2009

Choco he knows it too. But like you said he chooses not to believe.

Chocoholic · Feb 10, 2009

The the things I know and have experienced as have my friends who work in the industry are all figments of our imagination are they?

Whatever, keep your head in the sand and carry on viewing the world through rose tinted glasses.

Chocoholic · Feb 10, 2009

Whatever, but that person is currently working in the media in Dubai and gives plenty of examples.

Okay choose not to believe that your media is heavily controlled so that no bad things are written about the UAE, but we all know it's true, I work in the industry and I know it's true.

Whatever.
