“Two years ago, we launched our print and digital bundle subscription, and the response has been positive,” said Abdul Hamid Ahmad, CEO, Editorin-Chief, and Executive Director of Publications at Gulf News.

He noted the changing media consumption patterns. “Readers who traditionally only stayed with print have now started reading on gulfnews.com, too, as part of this campaign, and are able to enjoy the wider bouquet of content that is available online. The hesitation that might have been there, previously, among print readers is no longer there. This is good news for the industry. It is, indeed, better for more and more readers to move to digital.

Therefore, the bundled offering provides these new readers with the best of both worlds: The depth and analysis of print alongside the immediacy and multi-media experience of online content.

“We believe this bundling of print and digital subscription will also encourage families to instill the habit of reading news in their children, promoting critical thinking and media literacy in future generations.

“There are movements in some countries to go back to reading printed books. We believe the same applies to journalism as well — print will retain its value. Perhaps we are witnessing a slow resurgence of print media.

Once again, Gulf News is part of this evolution, with its innovative approach to subscription.

“We have undergone many changes, especially in our print product, over the past year but we have always ensured the quality of content — proof of that are the readers who are still loyal to Gulf News.

“We thank our loyal readers for their support over the years and for choosing Gulf News as their source of quality journalism and content in the UAE.”
