One major step, I think, in helping Doha come into the 21st century is giving jounalists the freedom to write about the good, the bad and the ugly without fear of being incarcerated,fired, or deported.
This has been discussed before several times on QL. There must be freedom of the press in order for everyone to have freedom of growth. Facts that go unreported are stifling the reader from making informed decisions about their lives here, in Doha.
Keeping people ignorant is not in the best interest of a growing society. Knowledge is power and ignorance is NOT bliss.
Their Eyes Wide Shut mentality is alive and well and for that reason people are purposely kept in the dark.
It takes a lot of confidence and maturity to be able to open oneself up for criticism. Baby steps.
Exactly.
