October 28, 2015 Consumer Magazines
The first edition of Newsweek Middle East has hit the newsstands featuring an exclusive interview with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, on the cover.
The English language magazine has been launched by ARY Digital Network as part of an exclusive licensing partnership with Newsweek LLC, with plans for an Arabic edition to be introduced in June 2016.
Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, Salman Iqbal, who is also chief executive of ARY Digital, said the magazine's launch represents a diversification for the Pakistani television company.
"Print for us may be a new frontier, but we understand that Newsweek Middle East requires diligence, and an alertness to the human struggles and vicissitudes of life," he wrote in the magazine. "Through words, we can explore the ideas around us in a way that no other medium can."
Newsweek Middle East is the eighth international edition of the magazine, with other international editions published in Japan, South Korea, Latin America, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia and the United Kingdom.
