Penta rolls out AI-powered stakeholder engagement practice

Vero has entered into a partnership with the Centre for Journalism and Trauma Asia Pacific (CJT), under which the agency will provide pro bono communications and implementation support for CJT’s “Not Alone. Not Silenced” campaign.

The campaign aims to support journalists in managing online hate speech, cyberbullying, and threats through a 10-month fellowship programme, including webinars, in-person workshops, and remote mentorship.

“Journalists today are working under increasing pressure, both professionally and emotionally,” said Nitikarn Ladasathean, Media Relations Director at Vero in Thailand. “Through this collaboration with the Centre for Journalism and Trauma Asia Pacific, Vero aims to contribute to a more sustainable media ecosystem by supporting journalists beyond just the stories they produce.”
