Learn from History

GLOBAL MEDIA - part 1


Almost from the very start, radio signals were broadcast international. Beginning in the mid 1920s, the major European Colonial power – the Netherlands, Great Britain and Germany were using short wave radio to connected with their various colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East as well as, in the case of the British, Canada and the Australia. Short wave was still is well suited for transmission over very long distances because of its high frequency easily and efficiency reflect or skip of the ionosphere producing skyway take travel vast distances.

Anti-government or anti-regime radio also constituted an important segment of international broadcasting. These clandestine stations typically emerged from the darkest shadows of political conflict. Revolutionary groups or intelligent agencies frequently operate them. During Cold War the unauthorized, clandestine opposition station typically operated outside the nation origins to reach their broadcast to avoid discovery, capture, imprisonment or death. Today the relatively few clandestine operation functioning inside the region which they transmit can be classified indigenous station, where else those operating from outside are exogenous station. Another type of broadcast operation transmitting called pirate broadcasters where they illegally operated station broadcasting to British audiences from offshore or foreign facilities.  The pirates were powerful and well subsidized by advertisers and record companies. Mush like the commercial radio stations with which we are now familiar they broadcast 24 hours a day everyday of the year. These pirate offered listeners an alternative to the control and low key programming of the British Broadcasting Corporation’s (BBC) station. Because the BBC was noncommercial, pirate’ station represented the only opportunity for advertiser who wanted to reach British Consumers.

We call it... knowledge

Do you know? Introduction and conclusion are the most important part of a speech. Your introduction is your first impression, and it sets the audience's view about whether the speech will be interesting, relevant, smart, or opposite. While the conclusion shapes the audience's memory of the speech. The introduction is written after the preparation and writing of the body paragraphs. Completing the body first can help generate original ideas for the introductory paragraph. An introduction is generally about 10 percent of the length of the entire speech, so for a five-minute speech, introduction of about thirty seconds is appropriate.  


So, please avoid it to be like this.

Be Brave!!!

Hi all, today, I would like to continue my previous topic. But today, we talk about the technique of how to overcome fear of speaking in public. I believe that many of us, especially government employees ever faced with such problems. Many of us will push each other, if they are required to speak to the crowd although those who have served in the department. It's a bit embarrassing. Am i right?

Okey listen.. proper planning of a speech contributes greatly to speaking with confidence. Self-confidence comes as a natural consequence of thorough preparation. The method and techniques are designed to reduce our anxiety and manage our nervousness. These are communication orientation motivation (COM), Visualization, Systematic desensitization, cognitive restructuring, and public speaking skills training. Public speaking instructors are recommended several specific techniques to novice speaker. The first technique is allowed sufficient time to prepare then practice the speech aloud. The speaker needs to choose an appropriate time to speak and also use positive self-talk. The speaker needs to face the audience with confidence and focus on the message.


The speaker can be more confidence when he or she has developed an effective speech plan. Speech plan is a strategy for achieving your goal. An effective speech plan is the result of a six-step process; the first step is to select a speech goal that is appropriate for the audience and occasion. The second step is to understand your audience and adapt to it. The third step is to gather and evaluate information to use in the speech. The fourth step is to organize and develop ideas into a well-structured speech outline. The fifth step is to choose visual and other presentational aids that are appropriate for the audience. And the sixth step is to practice the speech until delivery is accurate, clear, vivid, appropriate, conversational, and animated.

For the conclusion, whichever way you decide to deliver your speech, this is the way you should practice. Practice to be prepared on facing the fear and apprehension. Practice needed until you have mastered it and feel comfort on it and until you can speak it naturally to self-confidence. Carefully planning and practicing a speech that is worthwhile to your audience will increase your poise so you can speak with confidence and be a more effective public speaker.

What is public relations? Part 2

There are full service public relations firms and those that provide only special services. Public relations firms bill for their services in a number of ways. First, they may be charge an hour rate. Second, charging clients a monthly fee. Third are fixed-fee arrangements, and they may be charge for collateral materials.  Public relations operations come in all sizes. Regardless of size, however, the typical public relations firm or department will have these types of positions such as executive, account executives, creative specialists, and media specialists. Larger public relations operations may also have these positions as need demands such as research, government relations and financial services.

Trust in public relations is essential if the industry is to perform its role for its clients and publics. If people are lied to by public relations, the cultural implications could not be more profound. Customers must make themselves aware of the sources of information and the process by which it is produces. The calls from PR professionals for ethics, accountability, and honesty were the result of a recent series of public embarrassments for the public relations industry. The federal government was making extensive use of video news releases (VNRs) to support a variety of its foreign policy and domestic initiatives. VNRs can be used in their entirety or in part, and the companies that produce them consider even 5-second excerpt aired on a local news show a success.
