Starting with the belief that learning goes way beyond the
classroom, COMversations highlights some of Singapore's top media
professionals from print, radio, TV, and social media as they share
their communication journeys.Stories from practitioners: Each
chapter goes deep in conversation with Chua Chin Hon, Colette Wong,
Divian Nair, Nicholas Fang, Edwin Chan, Jill Neubronner, Arlina
Arshad, and Alan Soon. Each brings with them years of industry
experience from their time in places such as SPH, MediaCorp,
Reuters, Bloomberg, CNN, CNBC and Fox Sports Asia, capturing for us
lessons that are best gleaned from being 'out there' in the
trenches. These lessons will bring to life the theories that are
taught in communication classes.They offer practical tips on
communication conveyed through stories. One, when tasked to serve
as moderator for an in-conversation style interview with Barack
Obama, took the effort to work on the little details that would
help him break the ice with the former US President, including
refurbishing a watch. Another, eyeing a job with CNN after years
with Channel News Asia, was told by the international broadcaster,
'Fly to London for the interview and we will give you 5 minutes to
impress us'. Yet another, who works as a foreign correspondent
based in Jakarta, regales us with tales of journalistic enterprise,
including one on how a free car ride in Iran led to a glimpse into
the conservative society's underground dance party.This book also
includes a special feature with Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Singapore's
Minister for Foreign Affairs, who shares his communication style in
a range of contexts with students from Nanyang Business School at
NTU.
