Main Message: Evocation of a very special figure in Portuguese political life, who, having been on the invisible side of political communication, was an advisor of 17 presidents.
Take Out: As a space entirely dedicated to Communication, the NewsMuseum takes up the theme of media relations, its role and value, this time based on the example of Zeca Mendonça, a model of a reference communication professional.
Communicate, in an interactive way, the role of a press officer and what makes him stand out in the market. The evocation of Zeca Mendonça shows how this can, and should, be a broad and fundamental work.
