In the media-savvy age of spin, the press in Kuwait needs to flex its muscles and address news flow with fairness, objectivity and ethics – the prerequisites of good journalism. This, among other things, was the culmination of discussions that 35 journalists in Kuwait shared during a three-day Journalism and Ethics workshop in December 2009, organised by British Council Kuwait in partnership with Freedom House and the Kuwait Journalists Association (KJA).
The workshop was organised to build on the relatively liberal reporting environment in Kuwait (last year's 'Reporters without Borders' annual report ranks Kuwait as first in the Middle East for press freedom) and the momentum gained from recent successes in women's rights, including the election of the first 4 female MPs earlier in 2009, to strengthen the foundation of ethics in Kuwait's press and to look into the status of gender reporting in Kuwait.
