I am delighted to share that I recently had the honor of conducting a face-to-face class at the request of Professor Mark Chong, Head of the Communication Management Department at Lee Kong Chian Business School, Singapore Management University. The topic of our class was "The Present and Future of Media Relations in Japan." The session was a resounding success, featuring a comprehensive two-hour lecture followed by an enthusiastic Q&A session. We engaged in in-depth discussions about the challenges, strengths, and weaknesses of the Japanese media landscape, and explored its future prospects. Our conversation also highlighted the differences and similarities between the media environments of Japan and Singapore, enriching our understanding of both. Thank you to Professor Chong and all the students for their active participation and insightful contributions. It was an incredibly rewarding experience to exchange ideas and perspectives on such a pivotal subject.
