environments.
“Rejuvenate the Ethics & Disciplinary Committee and let
the public know how they may approach it, if they have any complaints … Publish
audited accounts,” he declared.

said, they must ensure having specific, and measurable business targets.
He also advised getting sponsorships from any of the global
media giants, with interest in media in developing countries, as well as
creation of open, periodic value-driven conversations that will sufficiently
interest partnership with corporates.

research-driven solutions for media and allied industries, whilst
de-emphasising physical structures, by way of thinking of network and people.
