Campus Radio

Hmm.. this is an interesting blog topic, mainly because I've never really thought about it before. I'm unsure if this would be a good idea or not. KDUK 104.7 has a pretty wide following for the pop scene, and of course we have KRKT 99.9 that covers the area's country music needs. I think the only way this would be a feasible option is if they were able to come up with a truly unique station that isn't offered around here. For instance, we don't have any good hip-hop/rap stations around here! If a group was to start up a radio show, I think using a more hip-hop strong playlist and possibly bringing in college aged kids to do interviews on pertinent issues in our areas would also be a positive.
 
In order to start up a radio station, obviously the biggest goal would be to get advertisers to jump on board. I believe that's how most radio stations gain their funding; they'll get big name sponsors and also get paid to run advertisements on their station. A college aged radio station would benefit from getting sponsors from local coffee shops/restaurants, and maybe partnering with those who sell concert tickets (you could do giveaways, which would make people listen in.)

Persuasive Techniques

The first thought that popped into my head are those anti-smoking ads made by "The Real Cost." They have an array of commercials aiming towards teenagers and promoting the negatives of smoking tobacco. I find this to be a fantastic ad campaign, although it can be a tad obnoxious at times, it overall gets the point across and makes you think twice before picking up a cigarette.   https://youtu.be/Vp8fcHI0-BI   The Real Cost: Science Class     The commercial that stands out the most to me out of this series is the science class ad. It involves a teacher adding in a bunch of chemicals to this science project and it turns into this scary monster type thing. Then a pitch line of "If cigarettes looked as dangerous as they are, you'd run like hell" is said at the end. They use an emotional branding throughout these campaigns as they promote the scary effects of tobacco use, and really makes a person think twice.   __________________________________...

Wikileaks

  Personally, I think that Wikileaks has done some good for our society; only because it has allowed every day citizens to keep their eyes open and gain knowledge that has always been kept secret from us. I'm sure there are many positives to keeping this information private, but I feel like it's important for our world to be as educated as possible with what is really happening.   Julian Assange   For example, in the Ted Talk he talked about information that he released that involved Kenya and their elected officials. Julian Assange basically said that by releasing this information, he shifted the elections and changed Kenya's government.   I find this to be really interesting and important because obviously this information showed the citizens what type of person they were about to elect and changed their minds once they knew the truth; that shows you that information being withheld ( in most cases) doesn't benefit the whole group, only a select amo...

Magazines

J-14 Magazine    Over the years I have read quite a few magazines but the top ones that were in my life are the following: J-14 : the typical magazine for pre-teens that always gave you posters to plaster all over your walls. This was my jam back in the day mainly because I thought I was cool to have all the new posters and keep up with the celebrities of my age. The bright colors and interesting information helped as well.    Seventeen : The best magazine for makeup tips, fashion, and taboo advice. I always loved the prom edition of this magazine so I could fawn over these beautiful dresses and imagine what my own prom would be like. I particularly liked that they had a question and answer section, an embarrassing story section, and also a part where they would talk about a real life person and their personal story.   Star : Gossip magazine 100%. There truly isn't anything special about this magazine, it's just the one that my mom subscribes ...
