Gold Media Services has been created by communications professional Jim Gold to help clients in all aspects of media and event management.  Jim works with global leaders around the world in the communications and broadcast news industries to offer creative strategies and turn-key solutions for corporations, not-for-profit organizations, broadcast news outlets and individuals.

Jim Gold spent much of the past two years helping to establish the Doha Film Institute and the Doha Tribeca Film Festival, working in operations, sponsorship and broadcast media publicity, amongst other roles. Jim has also become a "TEDster," project managing the inaugural TEDxDoha in October 2010 and producing an major insert into the December 2010 TEDWomen conference.

Jim also helped organize the Al Jazeera DC Forum in May 2011 at the Newseum in Washington, DC and works with NewsLook.com and Lumentus, amongst others. 

Jim created Arab Broadcast Forum in 2006, the first event devoted to the Arab broadcast news industry.  Each event attracted widespread interest and participation from all corners of the globe and created the first open debate about the state of journalism in the region. 

Prior to establishing and managing Arab Broadcast Forum, Jim Gold was the driving force to create News Xchange, the largest gathering of the global broadcast news industry.  From the beginning, News Xchange was a different type of conference and introducing the now-popular theatre-in-the-round style for lively debate.

News Xchange also broke ground by incorporating numerous satellite feeds and virtually banning the use of speeches.  That model helped make News Xchange a hugely successful and admired event.  Jim Gold served as managing director of News Xchange for three years.

Before joining News Xchange, Jim spent 13 years at Medialink Worldwide, the global broadcast public relations and communications consultancy.  One of the founding members of the company in New York, he moved to London in 1991 to set up the company's first international office.

He began his career at ABC News in New York in the early 1980s.

Now based back in New York City, Jim spent 15 years in London and has spent much of the past four years in the Middle East.

Gold Media Services offer its clients an unparalled international database for both media relations outreach, as well as working with the best communications professionals in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.
