National Press Club to boost media industry

The first in a series of others planned, the initiative aims to develop the journalism industry through specialised training and opportunities to use the training in the inaugural National Press Club speaker series.

MCPNG President Alex Rheeney says the concept had been talked about for years however, had not been established.

He said reviving the idea took around 12 months of planning and assistance from partners and wants the full support of the industry to maintain it.
