Kuwaits official media, under the supervision of the Ministry
of Information, follows an open and flexible policy domestically
and internationally. It is based on mutual cooperation, respect,
and non-interference in the affairs of other countries. The policy
is planned collectively with emphasis on intellectual, social,
political and economic development.
The media in Kuwait is vibrant and fully alive to its responsibilities
of life. From newspapers to Satellite channels, Kuwait has virtually
become a media capital of the Gulf. Kuwaiti media is free and
enjoys extensive support of the State. This freedom of expression
ensures that the State system remains answerable to its people.
Print media,
radio and
television reach out to the
entire nation and are an effective medium in shaping the public
opinion through their well-informed and objective reportage. The
establishment of Kuwait Information Offices under the aegis of
International Media Centres across the world has greatly helped
Kuwait in projecting its policies, history, culture and art and
in showcasing its achievements to the entire world.
