The Media Salon will bring you at least once a month a visit from important figures from journalism and other sectors of the community who will talk about their area of expertise and provide a platform for you to learn more about the local and international world. They will include diplomats and business people as well as international media practitioners and experts, and they will participate in talks and forums and other activities that will focus on work practices, local and international issues and other topics helpful to students. The objective of the Salon is to provide a place for students to interact with a wide selection of people from the industry and the community.
