FIRST "IENT THE MEDIA" SESSION
An open press conference has been arranged for members of
the press this weel so that they can meet senior Government officers.
We hope to make this the first of a series of "Meet the
Media" sessions where newsmen will have the chance to question senior Government officers about the work of their departments.
This week's session will be concerned with social services.
It will be on the record and T.V. and radio coverage facilities will
be provided.
The meeting will be held on Friday (February 23) at 12.15 p.m. The officers attending will be the Principal Assistant Colonial Secretary, Social Services Branch, Mr. P.B. Williams; the
Director of Social Welfare, lir. F.K. Li; the Director of Medical and
Health, Dr. G.H. Choa; the Commissioner of Labour, Mr. Paul Tsui; and the Director of Education, Ir. J. Canning.
In the past newsmen have said that it is not always easy for them to make direct contact with department heads. We hope that these sessions will provide the opportunity to put this right.
Note to Editors:
You are cordially invited to send a reporter and/or photographer to cover the press conference, which will be held in the G.I.S. 35 mm Theatre on the 5th floor of Beaconsfield House.
