As Chairman of the Career Development Centre, handling media miscommunication requires transparency and swift action. One thing I've found helpful is acknowledging the error immediately, which demonstrates accountability and builds trust. Actually, I disagree with delaying responses—acting quickly is essential to prevent further damage. For example, after a miscommunication about a career event, we promptly clarified the details through all channels, restoring confidence in our messaging. Engaging directly with stakeholders reassures them and maintains credibility.
