On our recent school trip to Kuwait Times, students got an exciting, behind-the-scenes look at journalism and online media production. From the start, we were welcomed with enthusiasm by the Kuwait Times team, who took us on a full tour of their building, offering insights into each department's role in producing one of the most trusted news sources in Kuwait.

The tour began with a visit to the editorial rooms, where journalists and editors work around the clock to bring stories to life. Here, students learned about the entire process of news reporting—from gathering information and fact-checking to writing articles and preparing content for both print and digital platforms. This first-hand exposure to the responsibilities and ethical standards in journalism was eye-opening and inspiring, as students began to understand the hard work and dedication behind every published story.

Next, we moved to the print room, the heart of the newspaper’s physical production. Watching the high-tech machinery in action as it printed, assembled, and prepared thousands of copies was truly thrilling. Seeing this production stage brought the concept of traditional media to life, as students saw the tangible result of hours of work in the form of freshly printed newspapers.

The highlight of our visit was an interactive experience in the studio, where students got to participate in a word-challenge on camera. Some students took on the roles of camera operators, sound engineers, and directors, while others were in front of the camera, delivering words and phrases under the pressure of being filmed. This experience gave us a taste of what it’s like to work in a studio environment, and students embraced the opportunity to try out different roles in a fast-paced media setting.

We were thrilled to learn that our visit will be featured in the Kuwait Times on November 15, and that the videos we filmed in their studio will be available on the Kuwait Times Instagram page. This unique opportunity allowed us to experience the world of journalism and online media up close, and we returned to school with new knowledge and an even greater appreciation for the hard work that goes into keeping the public informed.

The Kuwait Times team complimented our students, calling them “some of the most well-mannered students” they have ever had the pleasure of hosting. It was a memorable trip, and we all left feeling proud, inspired, and more connected to the world of media than ever before.
