The crown prince said, the citizens mostly believe so much on what the media write, adding that once the society is stabilized by Journalists’ fair reports, the economy of the country will improve because investors do not come to country where there’s violence. He posited that the media can bring a process of changing the mindset of citizens to understand that we can live together in peace without rancor and bitterness.

The prince extolled the Editors for the award and hinted that he now knows that people are watching all we do. He pledged to live by the virtues upon which the award was merited.
