How to Get on Gulf News: A Guide for Tech Companies in the UAE
To get on Gulf News, give its business desk news that matters to UAE readers, such as a Dubai or Abu Dhabi launch, a regional funding round, a contract with a UAE organisation or local data, timed and written for a UAE audience; Gulf News is an English-language daily founded in Dubai in 1978 and published by Al Nisr Publishing, part of the Al Tayer Group.
Short answer: Gulf News writes for people living and doing business in the UAE. Tech companies get on it when their news affects UAE businesses, residents or the economy, not when they simply announce a product.
The ways onto Gulf News
| Route | How it works | Credibility with UAE buyers and partners |
|---|---|---|
| Business desk coverage | Reporters cover your company, usually tied to a UAE launch, deal, funding or market data | Highest |
| Expert commentary and opinion | An executive is quoted on, or writes about, a UAE business or tech trend | High, if the view is specific to the UAE |
| Partner and sponsored content | Content produced with or for a company and labelled as such | Medium: useful for reach, read as company-supported |
