Information We May Receive

Information You Send by Email

Dubai Times publishes several email addresses for different purposes.

Information sent by email may include the sender's name, email address, organisation, job title, message content, attachments and other details the sender chooses to provide.

Messages may be retained where reasonably necessary for editorial review, corrections, source communication, business correspondence, security or record-keeping.

Editorial Tips and Source Information

Information supplied for journalistic purposes may be handled differently from ordinary commercial communications because source protection, confidentiality, public-interest considerations and editorial independence may be relevant.

Sending information to the newsroom does not guarantee publication or confidentiality in every circumstance.

Where confidentiality is material, the source should make that concern clear when communicating with the editorial team.

Corrections Communications

If you submit a possible correction, Dubai Times may process the information you provide in order to identify the article, assess the disputed claim, review evidence and contact you where follow-up is useful.

Corrections enquiries should be sent to corrections@dubaitimes.org.
