There are few things more disappointing to a reader than a washed out photograph and poor print quality for a great report. A superior newspaper is a complete experience.
Gulf News was awarded the Best Print Award for Asia (Ifra) for outstanding print quality in newspaper production and nominated for 2008 as one of the top 50 Ifra Newspaper Quality Club members.
Dean du Toit, Senior Production Manager at Gulf News, said: "The Quality Club membership is very prestigious. It is recognition of international calibre — a milestone for the newspaper. There were 198 global participants this year.
"It is acknowledgment of the overall print quality of a product. It clearly conveys to the reader that what they receive at their doorstep every morning is a newspaper that meets award-winning global standards every day.
"The membership nominees are assessed over a period of time, so we have to sustain the quality. The selection criteria are extremely difficult.
"The print award is also an achievement that would be the envy of any newspaper.
"We are the first in the Middle East to achieve membership of the Quality Club and the only newspaper from the region to be one of the top three in the Best Print category at Ifra Asia, this year."
