Hsu / Tun MT (NP News) - Dec 20
#China and #Myanmar are making a steadfast effort to enhance integration in the coordination and exchange of experiences and skills in the #media_industry after the two countries have built a deep collaboration in Radio and Television programs.
Intermediate and Advanced Level Management training for the mainstream media in Myanmar was opened virtually in collaboration with the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China and National Radio and Television Headquarters on December 16.
With aiming to upgrade the development of Myanmar media from conventional radio and television media systems to digital and smart media systems, China shares its experiences and knowledge through the abovementioned program.
According to the news release from the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar, Deputy Director Kyaw Naing Tint from the Department of Information and Public Relations under the Ministry of Information, Myanmar and Ms. Yan Ni from the Deputy Director of the National Radio and Television Administration of the People's Republic of China attended the event.
At present, the media industry in Myanmar, especially the news media, is severely infected by the volatile advancing science and technology in the moving global digitalization or digital slaveholding. It’s been a threat to neutral media outlets and makes them difficult for them to survive.
An editor from one of the local news agencies said “There is a revolutionary momentum in today’s world digital age. The limitations on technical expertise, funding and language barriers are challenging the survival of Myanmar's local news agencies. Struggling out of these, it is so sad to see most of the media men have to trade their media ethics for survival and become the victims or pawns of digital colonization. We hope to see development and becoming morally upright local media in Myanmar.”
The training will last for about 14 days and the subjects are media development and their concepts, practical management, News presentation and Media Management in the Omnimedia age, the operation of a News media agency, and strategy for globalization.
