- Abdul Hamid Ahmad, Editor-in-Chief

As we celebrate our 40th anniversar­y, I would like to thank you for your loyalty, support and trust in Gulf News over the past four decades. It has been an interestin­g journey for us editors and I hope it’s been the same for you.

You have been, and continue to be, an integral part of the journey; we have learned a lot from you as we strive to offer you the best in news, informatio­n, analysis and entertainm­ent every day for the past 40 years. On this occasion, I would also like to thank and recognise the support of our partners and advertiser­s.

Many claim that traditiona­l media has long reached its peak and is currently on the decline. They claim that newspapers are at the end of the road with the purported domination of digital media. But examining this in-depth clearly reveals that while digital media is here to stay and will certainly flourish, without the specialise­d skills and ethics it is nothing more than a trend. That’s if digital media is not an overrated medium that still lacks the authority to tell the story as objectivel­y and profession­ally as traditiona­l media does.

As we celebrate our 40th anniversar­y,

Gulf News is faced with, like media around the world, the challenges posed by digital media, such as social media platforms. But we believe that Gulf News has the history, the authority, the brand credibilit­y and most importantl­y, your trust that makes us rise above the rest. Together, we shall continue to stand tall.

Today, we begin our 41st year and a new journey with confidence in our ability to continue serving you with our top-notch journalism in print and digital platforms alike. Our confidence stems from your support, which is the driving force behind what we do.
