Role of Radio, Television and Online broadcasting Agricultural Communications

Radio and TV’s Importance PR values radio and television’s mass and specialized audiences Radio reaches 94 percent of adults 18+ daily; total audience about 225 million Radio particularly strong among Hispanics, the U.S.’s largest and fastest growing minority Teenagers are also big listeners of radio, primarily through online sites A 2008 study found that college grads aged 25-54 listen to the radio almost 16 hours a week; non-college grads listen 21 hours a week 33 million Americans 12+ listen to a radio station over the Internet during the average week Local television attracts about 150 million Americans on a daily basis, and the average U.S. family still spends about 7 hours daily watching TV, according to NAB

PR Access to Radio and TV Writing and preparing materials for broadcast outlets require a special perspective Must understand how to write for the ear How to integrate audio and visual elements into a script How to harness the power of satellite and digital communications to conduct media tours that can reach a global audience How to get spokespeople on broadcast programs

Radio’s Strengths While radio may lack the glamour of TV and the popularity of the Internet it is, especially on the local level, a cost-effective way to reach large numbers of people in various age, ethnic, and income groups Radio remains the only mass medium that can reach millions of Americans as they commute to and from work and elsewhere in their cars Its portability, due to transistors, expands radio’s reach to workers on the job, people exercising, people working in yards, people at the beach, etc.

Radio News Releases Radio station staffs often have to rewrite print releases to conform to broadcast style But the most effective approach is to send news releases that are formatted for the medium Radio is based on sound, so every release must be written so that it can be easily read by an announcer and clearly understood by a listener

Radio News Release Characteristics Standard practice is to write a radio release using all uppercase letters in a double-spaced format Also give the length– Example: RADIO ANNOUNCEMENT: 30 seconds (or :30) The timing is vital because broadcasters fit their messages into a rigid time frame that is measured down to the second Writing is more conversational, can be OK to have incomplete or partial sentences as you would in normal conversation Radio releases can be emailed, faxed, or mailed

Audio News Releases A more effective approach is to send a station a recording of the news announcement An ANR can consist of someone reading the 15, 30 or 60 seconds of copy or it can have someone reading plus one or more soundbites from, say, a satisfied customer, a celebrity, or a company official or spokesperson The second way gives station staff the option of just using the entire recording or just the soundbite(s)

ANR Steps Production- process starts with a carefully written and accurately timed script; then record the words; make sure sound quality is the best it can be; add music, effects Delivery- in a survey of 305 news-talk stations, 75 percent preferred to receive email notifications about ANRs, 20 percent wanted to be notified via news network feeds and 10 percent preferred fax notifications. Radio stations prefer to receive actualities by phone. They can also be delivered via satellite networks, CDs, and MP3 formats

ANR Use ANRs are considered a bargain compared to producing material for television Important to monitor usage—many organizations send a return postcard on which the station can report use (low response rate); can also call to ask if and how many times ANR used, then use Arbitron ratings to determine the estimated audience Monitoring services can scan radio and TV stations in major markets and give a report within 24 hours of something being aired

Success in Radio/TV Story Placement Topicality– news is about issues that matter to the majority of listeners and viewers Timeliness- strive for “now, today, tomorrow” not “yesterday” in stories Localization– If it’s not local, it’s probably not news Humanization- Show and tell how real people are affected Visual Appeal- Provide vibrant, compelling soundbites or video footage that subtly promotes but also illustrates and explains

TV Station Organization-Who’s Who General manager Program director Producers and director News Director Assignment Editor Reporters Videographers Public affairs or public service director Promotion director

TV’s Irresistible Appeal Television’s visual element sets it apart from other media– the combination of color, movement, sound, and sight on a screen in your own living room is hard to resist TV remains the primary source of news, information, and entertainment for most people Local TV news attracts 150 million viewers daily; network news reaches 30 million; prime-time national cable, 3 million; and regional cable, 31 million Network News Ratings Up PR people should understand and keep up with ratings TV/Cable Ratings Zap2it.com

Getting Attention from Television Four Approaches Send same news releases you send newspapers Prepare a media alert or advisory, stressing the strong visual appeal of the story or event Phone or email the assignment editor or program producer to make a “pitch” to cover a story or have your guest on a program Write and produce a VNR– video news release

Video News Releases (VNRs) VNR is, essentially, a television release converted to a finished tape (digital file) that can be broadcast The standard length is 90 seconds, the length preferred by the overwhelming majority of TV news directors VNRS are much more expensive to produce than ANRs– on average $20,000 to $50,000 for production and distribution So you’ve got to decide if the cost is worth the results you may (or may not) achieve

Scripting Audio News Releases Company Letterhead (company address, phone, website, etc) Audio News Release Contact Info Topic: Flu Shots (like news release) Length: :30 Script: (write in all caps and double-space) PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES THIS FLU SEASON. MORE INFLUENZA VACCINE IS AVAILABLE THAN EVER BEFORE. TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR NOW ABOUT IMMUNIZATION. Soundbite :10 Dr. Andrew Remedy/ CDC Influenza Director Incue: Flu shots are.. (for your ANR, write out entire soundbite) Outcue: …free of charge THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES. ###
