Media and communications professionals work collaboratively, yet their differing objectives can create a gap between them, positioning journalists and PR professionals on opposite sides.

Telum's latest initiative, Open Dialogues, seeks to narrow this divide by blending perspectives from both sectors and creating connections across various topics.

Our debut episode delves into International Women's Day, exploring how they would like to see their industries invest in women this year. Telum Media invited a few journalists and communications professionals to share their thoughts and insight:

• Debbie Yong, Freelance Writer in Singapore
