Abu Dhabi Grabs Headlines in 2008
2008 was the defining year for Abu Dhabi media says this story in The National today. How much reported in this retrospective is news to you? What names do you recognize in the article that you might not have known in September? And do note -- in case you just happen to meet him sometime -- that Edward Borgerding, named chief executive of the Abu Dhabi Media Company (ADMC) in March, previously was a top Disney executive. Just so you know, formerly he was Executive Vice President of Walt Disney International in Hong Kong and Senior Vice President of Walt Disney International Television in Hong Kong and London. His cross-media duties included overseeing operating units for television, home video, consumer products, digital media, theatrical distribution and Disney Channels. He was the one who started the Disney Channel in Taiwan-- the first outside the US -- and the Disney Channel in Dubai and in Australia. And now ADMC has launched Imagenation Abu Dhabi, to make feature films here. See how it all connects!

I've seen something about twofour54 in a friend's blog, but didn't exactly know what was it about, thought it was another real estate project, but it's interesting to know that AD is going to have a media city just like dubai.
A lot of news is in this retrospective, most importantly is how they're dealing with the financial crisis and launching Imagenation Abu Dhabi. Interesting.
Thanks for sharing
Wooow sounds intresting :)
Thanks for sharing Dr.J ... We really need a media city and probably bigger than dubai.
I think that is exactly what AD missing!
So what do you think a Media City can do for Abu Dhabi?
Allow anyone to know more about the media city for example, learn about camera video, reporting , Tv shows all these things Im intrested in which can help me go and see or maybe particpate in the media city, It will be really nice if we had one to internship there for sure there will be many sections in media
