Abu Dhabi Media Company has previewed its new national, English-language newspaper to media buying and advertising agencies before its official launch next month.

The newspaper is deemed to have a team of 200 internationally and locally recruited journalists and will focus on Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi Media Company (ADMC), a new media firm fully owned by the Abu Dhabi government, is reportedly behind the paper’s launch.

ADMC was set up by the emirate’s government in June 2007 with a capital of 100 million dirhams ($27.2 million) as a holding company for the government’s media interests.

ADMC’s media stable includes Abu Dhabi Satellite Channel, Abu Dhabi Sport Channel, Abu Dhabi Radio, Emarat FM Radio, Holy Quran Radio, Al Ittihad newspaper, and magazines Zahrat Al Khaleej and Al Super and Majid.
