Community Outreach Strategies for Media
This article gave us a lot of good ideas on how to reach out to the community. It was great to read this article the week before our community outreach proposals are due because it will give us some good ideas to discuss during class today. At first it seemed like sponsoring an event would not be realistic because our budget is probably not that much right now, but then I read the idea of giving the event some free advertising space for sponsor space at the event in return. Another good idea this article mentioned is to create a community dialogue, we could discuss topics in the area of Winter Park on R-TV and involve the community to be part of our shows. The 4th tip is to hold a contest or competition because everyone loves to win. Maybe R-TV could host a film competition and have prizes for "best drama," "best comedy," "best picture," etc. This would be a great way to get people involved because people would be giving content in order to try and win prizes. All in all we have to do our best to get the R-TV name out to the community because the more people that know about us, then the more people that will support us.

I agree about the contest, if it was done right. There are things that we need before that, though....people skilled enough in video production to help people produce, for one thing,and money for prizes for another. Like campus movie fest.
ReplyDeleteI do like the community dialogue bit...especially if it was things like you guys do in your capstones. I was hoping, as I said in the beginning of the semester, that you guys from 400 would use some of your footage to create smaller films about these kinds of topics for your work with campus media.
