You’re Fired! A Study of the Best Practices for Evaluating the Job Performance of Student Media Staff Members

I very much agree with reading talking about how small universities are not using student policy staff manuals compared to the larger universities. also, students should take campus media more  seriously, as if it was their real paying job. It is great experience and practice for when they get their real job after graduation.  Further more, campus media should make a effort of creating serious and formal environment to the students. That is something both advisors and student should work together. Being serious and formal doesn't have to be creating fear of firing and yelling at each other. Campus media staffs can work on  creating better structural staff manual and respecting work environment. Some of punishments and warnings are necessary in order to keep students focused. However, campus media and its staff should be welcoming and friendly all the time. It is not a good idea to only control students with fear. The most important thing in campus media would be the communicating each other and coming up with idea through  both individual and group.

  1. Yeah, I think formal and serious doesn't even need to be not community focused and fun. It's just about making people feel safe, as if they're part of an organization that is both important and bigger than themselves. How do we strike that balance in R-TV?
