Discuss the stages followed to produce a radio broad cast program to a school/or community. In case of a school be specific on the subject.
Effective production of media programs is essential in enhancing positive reception of the information entailed therein. This is particularly vital for programs addressing emergent and sensitive information such as environmental degradation and protection. In addition, the type of the audience also determines the method of approach. A younger audience would probably require explicit and detailed information as opposed to an older audience that would be satisfied with implicit information. This paper reviews the stages followed to produce a radio broadcast program to a school regarding environmental protection.
The first step would be to determine the subject matter. This needs to be a topic that one is interested or have a passion in. The first thing according to researchers that one needs to do is decide what kind of program s/he is going to offer. Maybe one wants to share a particular kind of music or you may want to do a talk show on a particular subject. One needs to exploit particular interests and topics in a creative manner. Exploration of a passionate subject would be beneficial as it enabled an individual to explore
The following stage is a choice between internet streaming and podcasting. There are more choices today for creating and distributing a personal radio program than any time in history! Anyone with a small budget can create their own Internet Radio station to air his or her own programs. Or, one can spend practically no money and Podcast.
Then, an individual needs to source for tools for recording the given radio show. One would need some basics no matter what they do: a microphone, a recording application, and maybe a audio mixer or more depending on how complicated your radio show is going to be (sound effects, music, etc.). In this regard, it would be important to include music in order to curb boredom that would undermine effective reception of the respective information (Broke, 2004).
The next stage would be formatting of the details contained in the show. This also involves having a CLOSE. For those who tune in during the middle or just miss the beginning, the CLOSE lets them know what they were listening to, who, and maybe how to email you or your website address. These are basic formatics. Now, if one needs to take breaks during the show to play a sponsor’s recorded commercial or a commercial for their own product or service.
If so, how many “stop sets” (commercial breaks) will one integrate and how long will they be? One might have a 30-minute Podcast and stop down for a commercial or public service announcement twice: 10 minutes into their program and then 10 minutes later. By knowing approximately when one will do these breaks, s/he can better plan each segment of the show that surrounds them. Formatting a talk show is very easy and instrumental in helping one pace the program.
Then, one needs to consider the original materials, music royalties and getting of guests. In this respect, if one is going to do a radio show that features music created by someone else, s/he would be responsible for paying royalties for the right to webcast that music. Luckily, one can broadcast through a 3rd party and handle relative fees. Or, you can podcast original talk material free. In essence, the legal aspects of the material being broadcasted needs to be put in consideration.
The final stage is promotion of the material to other learning institutions. Once one has created the radio show and is offering it to multiple institutions on a regular basis, they would probably have as many listeners as possible. One can have the greatest product in the world but if nobody knows it’s out there and where to buy it, they won’t make many sales.

Discuss the relationships among KSAs (knowledge, skills, and abilities), job analysis, organizational strategy, and HR activities.
KSAs are a list of special qualifications that an individual has for them to get the position that has been defined for a specific job. These KSAs must be unique as this is what will be used to distinguish this character as more qualified compared to other applicants who also have similar qualifications. Due to the increases number of applicants for particular job vacancies, it has been a major task to choose the best out of a certain group of qualified participants. This is because many people have the same qualifications and it takes the company or business entity offering the job to go deeper and look at the unique abilities, skills and knowledge that these applicants have (Barrick & Feild 2008).
While looking at the KSAs of an applicant the employer must put into consideration the organization’s strategies that have been set. The joy of any company or business entity is to be able to come up with unique strategies that will help to improve the competitive advantage of the organization and to achieve success through these strategies. On the other hand, job analysis remains at the heart of the human resource practices (Barrick & Feild 2008). However due to the increased competition and technological innovations it is very difficult to carry out job selection using the traditional method. It requires them not to go with the qualifications only but to consider how the applicant will contribute to the strategies of the organization. What are the KSAs needed by the firm to achieve the strategy?
The KSAs needed for a particular firm will be according to the strategies that they have set and the goals they are to achieve. For example in the case of a sales and marketing firm, the employee must have KSA sales. This means that he or she is required to have special knowledge, abilities and skills to carry out the sales. The employee must be in a position to attract more customers as compared to the other competing firms. These unique KSAs are what put that particular company at a higher competitive advantage in the market. The common KSAs that are tested include creativity, interpersonal skills, good management skills and communication skills. The applicant must also be in a position to multitask by being effective and efficient in the work that they are required to do.
What KSAs are currently resident?
There are those KSAs that are common to a firm and this makes them not any different to the other competing firms. This is because they are commonly known and most of the applicants are also aware of them. For example in our case of the marketing firm, it is clearly evident that for one to be a good sales person they must be able to convince the buyer that the product is worth the sale. There should be clear communication (Suffiani 2010). The buyer may decide to buy the product but is not convinced to come back. There is also the skill of interpersonal relation which is a major issue. How does the firm grow its KSAs to meet the strategic challenge?
The firm should ensure that it goes for the job applicants that are creative in thinking and are capable of coming up with new measures of improving the strategy. They can also train their employees on the KSAs and motivate them to be critical and creative thinkers. The skill of communication is the most important in business and the employees should be capable of attracting more clients and maintaining the organization in the high competitive position.

1) Remote work is here to stay. Yes, that’s a statement that sounds like one from a 2020 presidential candidate or a new age guru—and you might think it’s hyperbolic. But in the wake of last year’s tech worker labor strike in Seattle, remote work offers some real opportunities to refresh our understanding of the office as we know it. 2) In the past decade—a time when telecommuting exploded into what is typically referred to as “work from home” — Manhattan has come to be considered by some as an island where only people who work always and never do anything else are tolerated by employers.
3) It’s a model that is no longer viable if it ever was. It’s not just the tech companies. Across industries, talent has become more diverse and less likely to be limited to a single generation. There are myriad reasons, but they all lead back to the same conclusion: Today’s workers want the option of working remotely at times. In addition, many of them don’t see having a home office as incompatible with having a social life or family life. To them, both can be had simultaneously in ways they didn’t feel possible when both work and home were located in the same place—in most cases a city like Manhattan.
4) More than twice as many workers work remotely today than a decade ago, according to the Society for Human Resource Management, and the number of people who say they would prefer a more flexible office environment has risen significantly over the past few years. The idea that one day, perhaps in five years or 10, this shift will become dominant seems inevitable (Haag, 2021). More important is how remote work affects our workplaces and cities, making them more flexible and adaptable. The less restrictive our work arrangements are today—and the better able we are to make them so—the less we’ll need to rewire our office culture as we go forward.
A majority of Manhattan office workers are still working remotely even after the pandemic spread across the city. This may be because so many people have been employed by remote companies in the last few years that it is still normal for professionals to work from wherever they live. However, this trend is causing some problems for those who have not been trained to do so and are therefore not used to working remotely. One of these issues has been an increased demand for public transportation and changes in how businesses operate as well as how society functions on a day-to-day basis. Spotify is also working towards reducing the number of workers working at the physical office. It claims that its United States employees — 2,100 of whom had worked at the Manhattan office — that they could work from pretty much anywhere (Haag, 2021). Additionally, they could work from a coffee shop, an airport, or from home pretty much anytime. In January, Spotify announced that only 20 percent of its employees are currently in the office. This could be due to the fact that the company is looking ahead to future growth and chose to grow its workforce in a more efficient way. 5 Instead of transporting employees from one place to another, Spotify is considering allowing some employees to work remotely. The company estimates that these workers would be at the office an average of 50 percent less each day than their “New York City-based” colleagues (Haag, 2021).
Just like Manhattan, other organizations such as JPMorgan Chase & Co., which has more than 20,000 office employees in New York City, are considering a rotational work model (Haag, 2021). This involves employees rotating between working remotely and in the office. According to this model, employees will have some flexibility in where to work. The goal of the company is to allow at least half of its employees to work remotely for a given period of time.
Manhattan has one of the highest concentrations of workers in companies located in New York City and throughout the United States. Many office workers spend their entire day commuting and working in an office creating a space that is only supposed to be their home away from home. 5 However, remote work has become more common among many companies as they recognize that allowing workers to telecommute can be beneficial for both the employee and employer.
