By Chidi Emmanuel and Sajeev K Peter

KUWAIT: Kuwait Times has marked a significant milestone on September 24, 2022 as it celebrated its 61st anniversary. The late president of Kuwait Journalists Association (KJA) Yusuf S. Al-Alyan established Kuwait Times on September 24, 1961, the first English-language daily in the Arabian Gulf region. The first issue of Kuwait Times was printed at Muqahwi press and it consisted of four pages only. The first page included a letter from the then head of Department of Publications and Publishing, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, congratulating the daily on its first issue.

Al-Alyan, who loved reading and exploring the world, got a Bachelors Degree in Economics and Political Sciences from University of London in 1953. His visits to European and non-European countries and interaction with their people gave him insights about their languages and cultures, making him fluent in French, German, Italian, Persian and Hindi.

The newspaper was established in the wake of Kuwait’s independence and it became quite vibrant socially and culturally. Al-Alyan remained as the Editor-in-Chief of Kuwait Times since its foundation, until he passed away in December 2007.

KJA named Al-Alyan as honorary president in 2002 in recognition of his services to the press. He was one of KJA’s founders in 1964. Al-Alyyan was also chief editor of Al-Fajr Al-Jadeed (New Dawn) newspaper which was issued immediately after the 1991 liberation of Kuwait. Al-Fajr Al-Jadeed was only issued in 1991 and 1992. Al-Alayyan was KJA President in 1978-1985 and 1990-92.

Kuwait Times documented Kuwait since its independence, reporting the democratic process and ratification of the constitution, and the country’s membership in United Nations and Arab League, as well as the establishment of Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED).

In the subsequent years, Kuwait Times increased the number of pages and became a 36-page broadsheet. The newspaper provides in-depth reporting on local events, business news, analysis and editorials on local, regional, international issues, entertainment sports news and features. It also provides a unique service for expatriates, reporting local and foreign news.

Kuwait Times is also instrumental in reporting about establishment of ministries, institutions, judiciary, Kuwait University, Kuwait International Airport, oil projects,education and health services.Kuwait Times has been relentless about in its genuine reporting and coverage of Kuwait’s just causes, as well as interacting with non-Arabs and Western Embassies. Over the last six decades, Kuwait Times has evolved into a major media organization in the region in tandem with the emergence of a new journalism medium for the new millennium, the internet. Today, in the domain of digital media, Kuwait Times has become a major player with its diligent social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and it delivers the news in a fact-based, objective manner without compromising on objectivity.
