LIFE IN FACEBOOKISTAN

 

 

People think that facebook is the one mainly used by college to find a guy or a girl to have physical relationship. But the fonder of facebook “Zuckerberg” says that it is true that you can find a girl but shares his own personal experience saying that he is still dating with the same girl he was dating with before he started facebook, so he says someone cannot build up wrong things like this just because they like doing so. But he says that they are taking much more effort to let people create account with their real and original name with original details. It does not allow people to create an account in fake name. but personally I feel people can still create an account in a proper name which is not their original  name. But the drawback is that sometimes, it changes the setting unexpectedly, that leads to disadvantages sometimes. But in today’s world it has just become a necessity kind of thing, that people poses a facebook account.

Tools used as a PR Practioner

If I was in a Public relation practitioner for promoting the “New Media area of study”. The first tool I would use is the effective communication. This is the most important tool that a PR must use. Secondly I would meet students of high school who are deciding on their career to give them a choice about the New Media course. I would explain in detail about the course, and what exactly the course relates with, the television, radio, the production and post production. And I would explain various subjects that are offered in this course, Digital movie making, News Production, Real World Business Media. More than reaching out students directly in schools, the social networking sites are the best way to reach out large audience and also can exactly reach the target audience, so I would create a page for “New Media” course. People who are interested can get the information directly from facebook or twitter and other networks that lead them to the site to get more information about the course. If students have personal doubt I would ask them to e-mail me, so that they can get additional information that they need. After explaining if students are still not interested to choose this New Media area of study, I would ask them the reason for not choosing the course. If there are any personal doubts for students I would clarify them, or if they are not satisfied with something that the course offers, I would take steps to correct it by conveying it to the head of the department as a PR practitioner. While choosing the audience to convey my message I would choose thrice the number of students expected to join the course, so that the targeted group will choose the course. Finally I would tell them the future scope of this course, as a career. The job those are available: a DJ, RJ, video anchor, editor, camera operator, can work as a professional in other post production and editing work of any media industry, not just that but also in any company that has a publicity department. Any product or services need to publicize or advertise its product or service, so that has more scope.  

Why and how PR became a profession over the years?

Public Relation is the organized work to influence the public effectively. This public relation does not have formal education system, it is mostly based on skill and efficiency to attract the public to sell a product or service. Not much people are required to do this job. It is simple and so mostly organizations will have only one Public Relation practitioner. The reason that this grew to greater extent as years go by is because of over population and that more number of people work in an organization, so the departments divide further and further, which sometimes make work heavy for workers too. In this case a mediator is very much required to know the Public opinion and these mediators directly have communication and contact with the customers about their product or service. Without a public relation practitioner it is quite impossible to know, whether the production of a company is at any cause useful to the people. So over the years it has become one important post in any organization and there are many courses offered by various universities to study Public Relation. It is also improved much more in this present years due to the advancement in technology that help to reach people much more easily than earlier. The social networking sites like facebook, twitter and tumbler, etc. makes the job easier.
