We have been let down severly on two occasions when we could have used another newspaper. Miss AVA Dubai 2009 is being held in aid of animal welfare. Photographer took pictures and the reporter said he needed to arrange for a little dog we have (who has no eyes at all) to be photographed as this was going to be the follow-up to the report. Photographs were taken of this dog (special arrangements had to be made to do this as it was an urgent request!!!)
THEY NEVER PUT THE PICTURES IN AND THEY MADE MISTAKES IN THE REPORT. The second occasion again for Miss AVA Dubai 2009 we held auditions to find a singer to sing at the event in October. Again photographer covers the WHOLE day, we give our report a couple of days later, the winner gets interviewed then we are told THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN DROPPED. What kind of staff are working at Khaleej Times to mess people around like this? To add to the annoyance no-one even told us what was happening they just DO WHAT THEY WANT. We have lost a lot of publicity for our event because of this and the event is all in aid of animal welfare and taken a year to get off the ground. We would appreciate an explanation to this appalling standard of reporting in what we believed was a very reputable newspaper. Thank you
