A new tabloid newspaper from Al Nisr Media, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Al Nisr Publishing, hit the streets March 15. XPRESS will come out once a week and will be distributed free throughout the UAE, Al Nisr Media announced in a statement.

The 72-page newspaper will cover local, international and sports news as well as entertainment and leisure. Al Nisr Media promised XPRESS would be a "community paper" that would raise issues of concern to readers. Al Nisr Media said one of the newspaper's strengths would be its "cutting-edge" design which was developed by Garcia Media, one of the world's top newspaper design consultancies.
