History and profile
editEmarat 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 24/7, an English-language daily.[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]
