Communications and Information Minister Josephine Teo was the guest-of-honour at the launch of the book, Stewardship of the Singapore Media: Staying the Course.

Patrick is uniquely positioned to have dealt with these topics. The challenge for him was that in delivering his lectures, he had to synthesise the most important insights that he had gathered over the years.

This is why we are funding both Mediacorp and SPH Media Trust in their transformation efforts.
