Ahead of Poll, Search on for Media Strategist for CM

NOTWITHSTANDING the PR disaster that left the state government red-faced exactly a year ago, the Chief Minister's Office seems to be gearing up for yet another tryst with an external media strategy team.

This time around, however, it would be more on the lines of an election exclusive.

Going by sources, an unofficial search is on for a head of media strategy and newsroom, who will serve as the lead within the CM's media interface. A social media post with detailed job description has been circulated among a section of media strategists.

The primary job entails leading the news intelligence and media strategy cell tasked with churning out political narratives for a positive reinforcement of the chief minister's public image.
