This groundbreaking report, released by the Dubai press club in conjunction with PricewaterhouseCoopers, reviews the current state of Arab media across twelve Arabic-speaking countries. Supported by Dubai Media City, Dubai Studio City and International Media Production Zone, the Arab Outlook focuses on the impact of the global media trends on the Arab Media and predicts the course of events for many aspects of the industry over the next five years.

Developments in digital media and the emergence of broadband access and TV delivered directly to mobile devices present exciting growth opportunities for media companies across the Arabic-speaking world. Yet in order to benefit from these opportunities, certain factors must be addressed: the relatively limited availability of affordable broadband access across much of the region; and the lack of reliable audience and readership figures: Conclusions outlined in this report enable us to take an accurate view of the Arab media industry both in quantitative and qualitative terms.
