20th RADIO-7 Convention: Day 3

Day 3 (Nov. 7, 2012) of the regional convention of information officers at Bohol Tropics took us to the new world of internet streaming, audio and video streaming as new format for communicating government information.  DOST-7 assistant direictor Ed Paradela joined us as our resource lelcturer.

Lecture 4: Internet Broadcast & Video Streaming

“Social media is media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media is a big deal. It’s online content created by people, and it’s a shift in how people discover, read, and share news, information and content. 

Trends for the future: mobile, Google Buzz, geolocation, corporate policy and procedures, diaspora, and the end of email marketing!

The future is Info Tech. The internet is here to stay. 

Audio is the simplest type of media to stream. It requires the least amount of time and technical expertise to produce. It’s good for delivering music, recorded interviews and speeches, language comprehension, news report. 

The organizers during the 1st schedule that was
postponed because of Typhoon Pablo 

To soothe our tired minds and ease the tensions in our bodies,
we indulged in beautiful and comfort food at "the Buzz."

That was indeed a whole lot of ado of a convention--the 1st schedule was postponed because of a typhoon and we were unsure with the attendance for the Nov. 5-7 schedule; the last-minute decline of resource speakers; trying to look for replacement speakers... That kept us on tinterhooks but I guess, situations such as those made us better, effective and efficient in our resolve to push through with the event.  It turned out to be one of the best conventions of the RADIO-7!
