(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) DUBAI, Feb 10 (KUNA) -- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) has joined the signatories of a media charter promoting tolerance, which was announced at world government summit held in Dubai.
The document, which was endorsed by news agencies from around the world, aims to develop content that extols such virtues as tolerance, besides finding "common ground" between global news outlets, according to KUNA's Deputy Director-General for the Editorial Sector and Editor-in-Chief Saad Al-Ali.
The charter also deals with the exchange of content promoting tolerance and harmony as crucial elements of a flourishing society, KUNA's Editor-in-Chief explained.
He went on to say these efforts are much needed at a time where such scourges as terrorism and extremism have grown rapidly, which can be dealt with through a unified media strategy.
The charter, which was the brainchild of the UAE's state-run news agency WAM, is tantamount to a humanitarian initiative, its executive director Mohammad Al-Raisi pointed out.
"At such a tumultuous time, it is incumbent upon news agencies to deliver a positive message to the world," he added.
The document first came to light at a world government summit in Dubai, which brought together 4,000 officials as well as economic experts from across the globe. (end) smr.nam
