KUWAIT: Kuwait Times' account on Instagram reached 100,000 followers on Sunday, in yet another milestone for the newspaper. It was not long ago that Kuwait Times ventured into the social media world in its constant endeavor to deliver the latest and most accurate news in English to its audience in Kuwait and the world.
The past couple of years have been rich with events, including the COVID-19 pandemic which coincided with closures and forced suspension of traditional media. At that time when social media outlets were filled with fake news, Kuwait Times established itself as a reliable source of news in English to Kuwait's large English-speaking communities, earning people's trust to keep them informed with government updates accurately and on time. Since then, Kuwait Times' team strived to keep delivering on their promise to continue being Kuwait's most reliable source of news in English - both on traditional and digital media.
Established in 1961 as the first daily in the Arabian Gulf, Kuwait Times takes pride in its rich history as it continues to evolve. In this quest, Kuwait Times keeps up with the latest trends on social media and constantly explores ways to keep people updated with the latest news on various platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and most recently, TikTok, creating an array of diverse content that caters to a wide range of audiences. Kuwait Times brings with it a six-decade-long experience that made it a household name in traditional media in Kuwait and the region as it ventures into the fast-evolving world of digital journalism.
Of course, none of these achievements would have been possible without our readers' and followers' support. Kuwait Times would like to take this opportunity to thank its readers and social media followers for their trust and support. Kuwait Times would also like to recognize its audience as partners of success. We are on our promise to always be reliable, accurate and on time.
