A bigger mandate for the Dubai Media Council: <\/strong>Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum enacted new legislation for the governance and operational framework of the media sector in Dubai, expanding the regulatory role of the emirate\u2019s media council, according to the Dubai Media Office<\/a>. The law will take effect upon its publication in the national gazette.<\/p>\n

The details:<\/strong> The new law designates the Dubai Media Council as the regulatory authority for media activities across Dubai, including special development zones and freezones such as the Dubai International Financial Center. That includes transferring certain authorities from the Dubai Development Authority to the council\u2019s purview. <\/p>\n

What else is under the council\u2019s new mandate? <\/strong>The updated role of the Council includes the promotion of research and innovation, fostering local talent, attracting investments, and advancing the film and gaming industries through the newly established Dubai Films and Games Commission, which replaces the Dubai Film and TV Commission. <\/p>\n

REMEMBER- The UAE has been working on regulating the gaming sector:<\/strong> The General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority awarded<\/a> the country\u2019s first commercial gaming operator's license to casino operator Wynn Resorts in October, after the UAE issued a regulatory framework<\/a> for the gaming sector in July. The authority also awarded the UAE\u2019s first lottery license to commercial gaming and lottery operator The Game in July<\/a>, with the lottery kicking off for the first time this month. <\/p>\n

AND- A Dubai Media Permits Office will also be established to issue permits for media activities<\/strong> in the emirate. This office will coordinate with the Dubai Development Authority on media activities within its jurisdiction. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
