‘A symbol of progress and evolution’
Zulekha Daud speaks on Gulf News’ role in UAE
“Gulf News like all things young and modern in the UAE is the symbol of its progress and evolution. When I arrived in Sharjah in 1964, there was none of the services — no municipality, doctor or hospital.
Birth of Gulf News
Things progressed by leaps and bounds, and I was witness to the birth of Gulf News in 1978. I started reading Gulf News in the 1990s and was happy to get my quota of local and international news through the paper. To date I love reading it.
The name and fame of Gulf News right from the seventies to now speaks for the quality and real-time updates it has been providing on all current affairs till date.
Authenticity
Congratulations to the Gulf News team on their four successful decades in the UAE. I always tell my people, if we have to check for authenticity of news, we would first check Gulf News and confirm. It set a benchmark. Health being my sector, I regularly follow healthcare updates and flashes of news from other areas.”
