Now that the 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit is days away, the media world is already buzzing with excitement. Though the official opening isn't until August 31, the SCO media center threw open its doors early, giving reporters and photographers a chance to explore its high-tech facilities and vibrant workstations. Our correspondent Xu Xinchen was on the ground, and here's the scoop…
1. High-Tech Zones 🖥️
The heart of the media center is a series of digital booths equipped with fast Wi-Fi, live-streaming stations, and interactive screens displaying real-time updates. Reporters can dive into data feeds, tap into SCO social channels, and capture every moment as it unfolds.
2. Chill & Connect ☕
A cozy coffee corner and lounge area offer a perfect break between interviews. Colorful beanbags, wall art celebrating member cultures, and snack stations help journalists recharge and network in style.
3. Translation Hubs 🌐
With multiple languages in play, dedicated translation booths ensure smooth coverage. From audio booths to silent translation pods, the setup guarantees that nothing is lost in the cross-cultural conversation.
4. Green Initiatives 🌱
Eco-friendly design elements—like recyclable signage and digital handouts—highlight the SCO's commitment to sustainability. Even the press ID cards are made from recycled materials!
5. The Vibe 🎉
Walking through the media center feels like entering a mini-world fair: flags from member states, buzzing camera crews, and a pulse of anticipation. It’s more than a workspace—it’s a hub of ideas, connections, and stories waiting to be told.
As the countdown to August 31 continues, the early opening of the media center shows how SCO 25 is pulling out all the stops to keep the global press in the loop. Stay tuned for more updates and exclusive interviews right here!
