The Centre for Leadership, Negotiation and Public Diplomacy (LNPD), IDFR, organised the Media Skills Workshop for Mid-Level Officers from 6 to 8 September 2022. The workshop was attended by officers from The Royal Malaysia Police, Immigration Department of Malaysia, Majlis Amanah Rakyat, Malaysia Timber Industry Board, and IDFR.
The workshop aimed to enhance participants’ awareness, knowledge, and skills in handling the media effectively. The participants have been exposed to some of the best practices in managing public diplomacy through traditional media and the current social media. Besides class lectures and knowledge sharing, the workshop includes hands-on practical training in handling questions and answers during press conferences and studio interview sessions through media simulation.
