Emarat Al Youm (Standard Arabic: الإمارات اليوم, al-Imārāt al-yawm - meaning The Emirates Today) is an Arabic newspaper published by Dubai Media Incorporated.[1] The paper is published in Dubai.[2] The newspaper content focuses on domestic issues and other topics of interest to Arab readers.

History and profile

Emarat Al Youm was first published on 20 September 2005.[3] The owner and publisher of the paper was the Arab Media Group until October 2009 when the Dubai Media Incorporated became both owner and publisher.[4][5] Sami Al Reyami is the editor-in-chief of the daily.[6][7] One of its sister papers is Emirates Today, an English-language daiy.[8]

In July 2009, the Abu Dhabi Federal Court of Appeal closed down the print and online versions of the paper for 20 days and also, fined its editor $5,445 due to the publication of an article in October 2006 which alleged that some of the ruling family’s thoroughbred race horses were given steroids.[9][10] On 26 July 2009, the paper was relaunched.[11]

The paper's online version was the twenty-second most visited website for 2010 in the MENA region.[12]

Emarat Al Youm was given by Dubai Press Club the Political Journalism Award in 2013.[13]
