The highlight of the workshop was sharing session with successful figures such as Chloe Cho, Executive Producer/Presenter; Melissa Goh, Correspondent News; Fendi Mohamad, TV Unifi Celebrity Cook and Wan Rozita Aladad Khan, Head Local Content, New Media, TM. The speakers shared their insights and personal journey as well as the challenges and perks in the world of media and communication industries.
The best part of the workshop was when the students were given a challenge, which was to produce a short-write up about why they want to be in the Media industry. As a result, the 10 best entries will win a 2-Day trip to Singapore sponsored by CNA in March 2018, inclusive of one day career induction at Channel News Asia to explore more of the role of presenter, correspondent, producer and media industry as a whole. The exposure to the industry is on great importance as it will seed ideas and prepare the future of generation to understand and meet the needs of the industry.
