Emirates Today arrives
Dubai's latest daily tabloid, Emirates Today, is on the newstands, and despite some sniping in the market the first couple of issues have been agreeably impressive. On the upside:
1. Large amount of content
2. Good features content - both in quantity and quality
3. Solid, if unsparkling, news writing, with properly written first lines/intros
4. Good "magazine" feel - important in the internet age
On the downside:
1. Over-long, unexciting headlines
2. Front page article (Tuesday) was mis-handled*
Certainly, it holds a lot of promise and should be a good daily read.
*Tuesday's headline was: "Workers' protest causes rush-hour traffic chaos." This was the situation at 8am on Monday, but the story had moved on several times since then. Traffic chaos was also not the point of the story: non-payment of workers was. A far more punchy, recent, relevant headline would have been along the lines of: "Ka'abi backs workers" or "Ka'abi takes action"with the story then beginning with the Labour minister's strong actions and strong words to sort out the crisis.
