Doha News to become a Glamour Magazine

In what has been a turbulent couple of years for Doha News with website being blocked in Qatar and it's sale to Indian Poppadom Factory, more starting news has emerged. Doha News will relaunch itself as Qatar's newest, blandest Glamour Magazine focusing on all the people you avoid when visiting 5 star hotels in Doha. This news has been welcomed by the Qatar Government.

A spokesman who declined to be named was quoted as saying, "We did like Doha News, until we didn't, so we see ourselves as full supporters of this new initiative. When Doha News originally came on the scene, we were like, wow, we are so progressive, looks at us with our open media and transparency, forward looking new age media platform and everything, but then they started publishing stories we didn't like. We thought everyone knew the rules in Qatar and this shocked us. Some of the stuff they published was even the truth. However now Doha News is going back to it's roots, we look forward to seeing articles such as 'Me and my pet Cheetah and how we donate to the homeless' and 'Overdone make up Lebanese lady who acts like a princess, prancing around the Four Seasons', you know, good quality GCC journalism"

The new owners from their shrimp farm in Kerala are more than delighted to take on this ambitious project, 'We want to show the brunch scene at the Ritz Carlton like it has never been seen before. Glossary pictures of ladies in expensive dresses with tags that say things like, 'wow! she's dressed to impress' and 'She would not look out of place in Bollywood'"

When asked by our intrepid reporter, will there be stories on the critical issues in Qatar today, he was met with a firm response, "of course! We will report on the new chapati shop in Najma, the Doha Kaabadi championships and Vijay's argument with his neighbor over the cricket in full color 2 page article"

When our dashing reporter stated that, 'All these are Indian stories and not relevant to the majority of the expat population', he was quick to dismiss us explaining he had an urgent meeting with his cousin who was busy photographing men on the beach at the Grand Hyatt for a story about bodybuilding and nothing to do with gay men hanging out
