Bangkok Post to partner with AIT
On 27 April, AIT President Said Irandoust met with Mr. Umesh Pandey, Editor-Asia Focus, Bangkok Post, discussing various ways in which there could be mutually beneficial partnerships. Some of the possibilities include, study tours for AIT management team and staff to the Bangkok Post and professional support on how to deal with the media, regular communication on AIT initiatives being undertaken in the region to also include the summary of AIT student theses work (two weeks before final defense), and also for AIT to serve as a platform for the setting up of a regional media academy in which the Bangkok Post could take a leading role.
The visit of Mr. Pandey and the meetings were coordinated by Dr. Salil Sen (SOM 06'), who introduced Mr. Pandey to AIT.
