Dubai Media Incorporated (DMI) will launch on Saturday Emirates 24/7 online in English language.

The move follows the directives from Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Dubai Ruler, Board Chairman of DMI.

Earlier Sheikh Maktoum ordered converting of Emirates 24/7 from a newspaper into an electronic version that will keep pace with local and international events.

He also ordered setting up of a committee to be chaired by Dhaen Shaheen, executive director of press affairs to chalk out executive steps for the new electronic magazine in a way that would woo readers and reflect development of DMI.
