The Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) Center for Media Development has officially launched its 20th training program for young journalists, which will run from September 7 to September 25, 2025. The program reflects KUNA’s long-standing commitment to developing journalistic skills among aspiring reporters while keeping pace with the transformations shaping today’s media environment.
This year’s course brings together a wide range of experts to provide participants with both classical and modern media training. The program covers news writing, editing, and reporting styles, ensuring that trainees grasp the fundamentals of professional journalism. Instruction also extends to language proficiency for media, an area emphasized as essential for maintaining clarity, accuracy, and credibility in an increasingly interconnected information landscape. In addition, the program introduces specialized modules on media technology, artificial intelligence, and photography, highlighting KUNA’s focus on equipping new journalists with tools to handle multimedia reporting.
Participants will learn about the different types of news, how to build credible sources, and the importance of diverse formats in contemporary journalism. Training in photography and videography ensures that graduates understand the growing significance of visual storytelling. Meanwhile, sessions on AI and digital media prepare students to confront new ethical and technical challenges brought about by technological change.
The Center for Media Development was established in December 1995 and has since played a pivotal role in training and mentoring journalists in Kuwait and across the region. Over nearly three decades, it has hosted numerous programs designed to enhance the capabilities of media professionals, positioning itself as one of the country’s premier institutions for journalism education. Each program aims not only to impart technical skills but also to reinforce the principles of responsibility, transparency, and public service that underpin journalism.
By combining traditional journalistic practices with modern innovations, KUNA’s 20th training program ensures that young journalists are prepared to navigate both the timeless responsibilities and the new realities of the profession. The initiative underlines the agency’s continued commitment to developing a skilled and adaptable media workforce in Kuwait.
