Media plays significant role in promoting food security: KUNA Chief

SHARJAH: Director General of Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), Dr. Fatima AlSalem, stressed Wednesday the importance of the role played by news agencies and media in promoting the concept of food security and to discuss and address all challenges facing it. This came during her participation in a discussion session within the World Media Forum held on the sidelines of Expo Sharjah 2023 within the theme (Media, Food Security, Opportunities, and Challenges).

Dr. Fatima Al-Salem said that food security is a very important case to the world and to the GCC countries, especially in the wake of the CORONA pandemic, noting that these challenges and food security have become a very urgent necessity. The global reports related to food security and its challenges have imposed more tasks on the media, such as preparing distinguished cadres and specialized journalists to deliver the media message in a comprehensive manner to the reader to raise awareness and rationalization.

She pointed to the importance of media theories that simplify media messages but in a scientific and thoughtful manner, and shed light on the humanitarian aspect in media materials dealing with topics and concepts related to food security, development, and other issues in the same context. She noted
