Sustainability Report 2017-18 - Executive Summary

Media Engagement Activities

The media is our important partner in disseminating news and communicating with the public. During the year, apart from continuing to hold media briefings and attend interviews, we participated in informative programmes organised by media to brief and share the projects that are of public concern, striving to enhance the Department’s image and deepen the public's understanding of our work. Key media activities in the year are highlighted in this chapter, including exchanges between the management and media, media interviews on DSD projects, work, and staff, as well as TV and radio informative programmes.
