Media face challenges in Maintaining the wall

Hello, everybody in this blog I will be talking about the media faces. Which I will give you an example of Media face of DIY news.

Veteran journalist Laurie Oakes is predicting the rise of DIY journalism as political parties, interest groups and corporations set up newsrooms to try to sidestep scrutiny by the media.
''It's not hard - all you need is a laptop, 50 bucks for a video camera and you're away,'' he said on Thursday.He sees a gloomy economic future for mainstream media outlets but believes Australians will still want authoritative, fact-based news.
Oakes delivered an in-depth analysis of the future of the media in Canberra in the Walkley centenary lecture.

 

The annual Walkley media conference is being held in Canberra on Thursday and Friday to celebrate Canberra's centenary next year, and to recognise the national capital's important role in Australian life and the critical role that journalism plays in federal politics.
The prestigious Walkley awards honouring high achieving journalists will be presented at a black-tie dinner on Friday at Parliament House.
Oakes, himself a multi-award winner, said he wanted to be optimistic about the future of political journalism and the Parliament House-based press gallery.The symbiotic relationship between politicians and journalists is now changing.

Cyber bullying

Cyber bullying is using of the Internet and relate technologies to harm other people, in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner. As it has become more common in society, particularly among young people, legislation and awareness campaigns have arisen to combat it. In other word, Cyber bullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites.

However, Bullying victims tend to be polar opposites of bullies. They are often shy and quiet, with few friends and little social support at school. They may be physically weak or lack confidence in their strength. Hence, they rarely stand up to bullies.the cyber bullying will threat you if you are youngster, children, woman, actress and some reputation person. Kids who are being cyber bullied are often bullied in person as well. Additionally, kids who are cyber bullied have a harder time getting away from the behavior. The effect of cyber bullying is to use cell phones and computers themselves are not to blame for cyber bullying. Social media sites can be used for positive activities, like connecting kids with friends and family, helping students with school, and for entertainment. But these tools can also be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar. Kids who are cyber bullied are more likely to use alcohol and drugs, skip school, experience in-person bullying, be unwilling to attend school, receive poor grades, have lower self-esteem,  and have more health problems. 

Finally, there are many ways to prevent you from victim of cyber bullying. Such as, Learn to recognize cyber bullying, Figure out when the cyber bullying began and the cause, Ignore the bully, Block the bully, Tell a trusted adult, parent, or teacher, as this will give you an outside perspective to support you, Don't delete the messages, Deactivate social networking accounts and change your email address and/or cell phone numbers if the bullying persists, Report the person , and Don't retaliate (get even with them), you may find yourself in an even worse position.

# 5 : Tourism Thailand Perfect Destination

Hua Hin is Thailand's oldest beach town resort. Situated on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand and only 200 kilometers from the capital, Bangkok, it offers the ultimate getaway destination for the city's elite. Hua Hin became popular with the Royal Family following the construction of the southern railway in the 1920's, travel became more accessible and a demand for luxury resorts and hotels grew. The first of these was the Railway Hotel which is now the Sofitel Central, still one of Hua Hin's most popular hotels.

This is the other choice to enjoy beaches here because there is a Cha am beach near Hua hin . it is not expensive and lots of foreign tourist there like Pattaya beach

Today Hua Hin is undergoing rapid expansion as Bangkokians and Westerners look this way for a second home, be it a quaint house nestled in the hills or an upmarket condominum with ocean views. Over the past few years, the town has seen countless housing developments spring up, new golf courses constructed, a brand new shopping complex and movie theatre and a boom in local businesses. The charm of Hua Hin is that it still retains its fishing village serenity which is now side by side with the bustling center of a modern luxury beach resort.

For example, Dusit Thani hotel,  Shereton resort , Holiday Inn and so on

video news release (VNR) : Promoting the news

First of all , I need to tell you about the term of VNR. A video news release (VNR) is a video segment made to look like a news report, but is instead created by a PR firm, advertising agency, marketing firm, corporation, or government agency. They are provided to television newsrooms to shape public opinion, promote commercial products and services, publicize individuals, or support other interests. News producers may air VNRs, in whole or in part, at their discretion or incorporate them into news reports if they contain information appropriate to a story or of interest to viewers.

 

However , some of goverments of some country attemtped to make a fake video to protect thier honour because they want to protect thier reputation and other outgrowth. Even thought, the VNR has already disclose the face of video but eventually the government try to make a fake video instead. there are many channel sources which attemtp to profect some nationals such as CNN , Skynews and so on.

 

Finally, we should watch and believe the source that we veracious. Perhaps CNN, Skynews and other sources maybe they are all dependable. Anyway, viewers should use discretion inwatching the media carefully.

Negative Publicity: Companies Assume Different Strategy to Deal with Crisis Management.

In this post, I will be talking about the negative publicity of companies assume different strategy to deal with crisis management so, there are many in the business world who believes that publicity including negative publicity is good for company.

 

 

Therefore , the publicity is generally acknowledged to be more credible and more influential than company-controlled communications. Negative publicity, in particular, has the potential to damage corporate image. This is due to its high credibility as well as the negativity effect, a tendency for negative information to be weighted more than positive information in the evaluation of people, objects, and ideas.

According to , the corporate crises often result in negative publicity, threatening the image of the company. The present study investigated the effects of company reputation for social responsibility prior to a crisis event, response to a crisis event, and responsibility for the event on overall consumer regard for the firm. The study is an experimental test of image restoration strategies conceptualized in the literature. Each of the factors was found to exhibit a significant main effect. For the crisis scenario used in the responsibility explained the largest proportion of variance and response explained the least. An unexpected finding was that an inappropriate response by a "bad" company resulted in an increase in regard toward the firm, whereas the same response by a "good" company resulted in a decrease in regard for the firm.

Finally , the publicity make without to the marketing and the role of the pubilcity so, it make the publicity has the idea and improve for the create of advertising and promote of the producte for the companies as well.
