Kuwait City—I would like to thank Sheikh Fahad for this wonderful conference and for the fascinating visit to the City of Media.
I am Joyce Barnathan, the President of the International Center for Journalists. For 27 years, we have been working to raise standards of journalists, media managers—and now citizen journalists. In all, we have worked with 65,000 journalists—both professional and citizen—in 180 countries. Our goal is to increase the free flows of reliable information so we all can make better decisions in our lives. We do that by creating innovative programs.
