The PCPD has consistently worked towards establishing a professional relationship with all branches of the media in order to inform public opinion and communicate developments in privacy-related issues. Over the course of the year, the PCPD organized 13 news briefings and gave media interviews timely on topical privacy issues.

The media briefings and interviews had facilitated the dissemination of PCPD news by the media and successfully created interest and debate of privacy issues in the community. In dealing with social issues that impact upon personal data privacy, the PCPD has always taken a proactive approach towards conveying its policies to the community via the mass media. The PCPD firmly believes that an informed public are more likely to be a privacy-aware public and hence empowered to take decisions and make choices that will protect their personal data privacy.

The following were some topical privacy-related issues that were widely reported by the media during the course of the year:
