The GDN has opened up its digital issue to more than 80,000 premium customers nominated by the media’s major sponsors – Solidarity, Al Haddad, the American Mission Hospital and NorthStar Telecom.
In an unprecedented collaboration, access to the paid-for local content section of GDNonline (featuring highly-sought after live, exclusive Bahrain news) has been offered to tens of thousands of new subscribers who are being given individual online subscriptions in appreciation of their custom and loyalty.
“The GDN’s local news content is highly valued by the kingdom’s local and expatriate communities at home and abroad,” said Al Hilal Group Managing Director Ronnie Middleton. “The gift of a subscription to GDNonline represents a thoughtful and practical initiative enabling our valued sponsors’ clients and customers to access the best local news source in Bahrain.
“We are, of course, delighted to continue to introduce ways of supporting our valued advertisers. Providing them with tens of thousands of personalised subscriptions for their premium clients ensures that their customers will be thinking of them each and every day of the year.”
With this initiative the GDN now enjoys the highest number of subscribers to any media in Bahrain consolidating its position as the leading media group in the kingdom.
GDN Media Managing Editor Stanley Szecowka is delighted to welcome the thousands of new subscribers to the online edition using the website and smart phone application, adding to our loyal print readers, social media followers and connections hitting a daily total of 500,000-plus.
“We have a team of talented journalists on the ground, reporting the local and breaking international news that really matters to the people of Bahrain,” said Mr Szecowka. “Our strength is that we can be trusted – no spin, just journalism of true quality written by Bahrainis and expatriates invested in the communities they serve.”
