Personal project

I went to Alumni weekend, Friday, 3/23/2012. Few people showed up, and we had one table provided for us.  I was disappointed that not many people showed up. I and Aron filmed Alumni, ask them for station ID. During tabling WPRK people and I tried to make people fill out the survey and gave them WPRK stickers. Also, I am filming athletes.

3/26/2012 Reading: Volunteer Management Capacity Study Series

The reading "Volunteer Management Capacity Study Series" ring the bell in my mind how important it is to get right people for right charities or volunteers. I very much agree with the idea that "Charity adopts a particular management practice depends on its specific needs and characteristics. Not all practices can or should be adopted by all charities." Volunteering should not be forced or recommended with certain degree of peer pressure. It should be done by one's own will and person who does it have to be earn happiness in the process. Therefore, finding interest group is critical in a long run. In addition, people should not only help other but also help their self and earn proudness by volunteering. Professional recruitment and retention does not work. Therefore, organization should provide easy to join and welcoming environments for the people to join. Trying not to give them pressure to people before they even think to volunteering, and avoid word "Volunteering." Put people in position that they enjoy doing. Also, giving people recognition about what they do, and give them complements to feel proud of what they doing.

What I been doing so far...3/19/2012

I been filmed Rollins athletes and their profile, and visited local businesses and hand them out R-TV's under writing packet as what I did for campus out reach. I am going to visit some automobile dealerships and do their review and hopefully one of them provide some benefits for Rollins students. Planing on keep filming many athletes as possible, and I am also trying to film some clips for R-TV to air it for the future.
On March 23rd, R-TV staff members are going to go to Alumni weekend at 11:30am and film the event. Asking them questions like:( what was your best experience in Rollins ?)  and station ID.

Weekly reading 3/12/2012 Winter 2009

I totally agree with " inherent within all human beings is a desire to avoid expressing opinions that run counter to prevailing attitudes or counter to the opinions of people who matter to them." I also understand that student should be able to publish without limitation and censorship under the circumstances of proper process of production. However, in campus media, student should have certain mind set and direction of what kind of informations are going to be in campus media. Even in campus media, media is a field where it needs serious consideration on reviewing the materials before they are published. Students are still learning and even though a high level of experienced publisher need peers to review. Therefore, reasonable amount of  influence and literature review.  Also, there are a lot of concerns and problems are raising on how it's not professional enough and disorganized. In my opinion, for most college and university there are not enough support and demand for the campus media. In terms of consumers, there are not enough of them. For that reason, students are busy with school and when they do consume media, campus media is certainly not the first choice of selection. There are countless amount of media such as internet, and all the other mega corporations. However, there is a possibility for the better future. It is very difficult to make students to demand the campus media with similar information as other mega media. It simply can't compete with other media. What can campus media could do is that strongly focusing on school, and students. Such as providing interest only students would care and need. Campus media should take place to enhance student's life in terms of Academic life. That way students can be persuade to demand campus media because no other media is only focussing for their school and their sake.
