KUWAIT: Kuwait Times and Kuwait News welcomed trainees from the Kuwait Finance House (KFH) Academy program for a behind-the-scenes tour and an introduction to the dynamic world of journalism. During the visit, the trainees explored several key departments, including the editorial section, social media unit, studio, printing press, and archives. In the editorial room, they engaged in insightful discussions on media ethics, the process of information gathering, the importance of fact-checking, and the evolving nature of journalism in the digital age.
At the archives, the trainees had the opportunity to browse through historical editions spanning the newspaper’s 63-year history. They explored how the publication has developed over the decades and viewed past language supplements, gaining a deeper appreciation for the paper’s legacy. The group then proceeded to the printing press, where they witnessed the newspaper production process firsthand and posed for a commemorative photo with the Kuwait Times team.
To wrap up the visit, the trainees participated in a fun video shoot at the studio, enjoying a lighthearted and engaging end to their tour. The KFH Academy program is designed for university students and recent graduates as part of KFH’s commitment to social responsibility, training excellence, youth development, and the empowerment of national talent.
