Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi is enhancing public communication through increased social media use and more frequent press conferences. This strategy aims to build a friendly image and combat fake news, though some critics point to limitations in the press conference format.
The Centre appointed lyricist and communications expert Prasoon Joshi as chairman of Prasar Bharati, India's public broadcaster, filling a key vacancy since former IAS officer Navneet Kumar Sehgal's resignation in December. Joshi, currently chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification, brings decades of experience in advertising, cinema and public communication. Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw expressed confidence that Joshi's leadership would infuse renewed energy into the broadcaster navigating digital transformation.
