There, the delegates had the opportunity to observe television news production firsthand.
They were also introduced to the print news operations of the New Straits Times Press (NSTP), which comprises the New Straits Times, Berita Harian and Harian Metro, giving them a glimpse into the workings of Malaysia's most prominent newspapers.
