The Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development (AIBD), the  Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) and the Arab States Broadcasting  Union (ASBU) as part of its Media Partnership have undertaken a joint  regional workshop for the first time.
It was proposed that the AIBD organize a regional workshop on Convergent  Journalism for AIBD, ABU and ASBU members in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
 The workshop was held from 11-15 July 2011 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and  was conducted by Dr John Cokley PhD, of the School of Journalism &  Communication, The University of Queensland, Australia.
The workshop aimed to provide the participants with a “competitive advantage” in the emerging world of convergent journalism.
The list of 12  participants were from a range of countries and regions across the AIBD,  ABU and ASBU memberships: one each from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia,  India, Jordan, Macau, Nepal, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and two from  Saudi Arabia. Two of the 12 were women. The participants’ job roles  ranged through reporters, producers, news directors, to news controller.
