Kuwait Journalists Association
Description
The video opens with upbeat music and rapid-fire images of the newsroom- journalists stationed at desks, talking on phones, typing stories and editors copyediting text. The next images are of a large-scale newspaper press running off papers. Next, a series of newspapers stack up, one upon the other. This is to show the diversity of newspapers and voices that reach the public and constitute a free press. Newspapers are controlled by nonprofit organizations versus business interests in Kuwait. The newspapers continue stacking higher and higher. The final message, Free Press = Free Country, changes to Free Press = Free Kuwait. Triumphant music punctuates the ending as a logo for Kuwait Journalists Association appears.
Mona Farah is a print journalist who created this PSA to encourage Kuwait to maintain a progressive stance on the media’s right to free speech in the Middle East.
