2. IN COMMUNICATION, media is the
storage and transmission tool used to
store and deliver information or
data.
It is often referred to as synonymous
with mass media or news media, but
may refer to a single medium used to
communicate any data for any
purpose. BY: CHELDY SYGACO ELUMBA-PABLEO,MPA,LLB
3. Media management is a term
used for several related tasks
throughout post-production.
In general, any task that relates
to processing your media is
considered to be media
management, such as capturing,
compressing, copying, moving,
or deleting media files.
4. However, media management
also refers to keeping track of
your media files via clip
properties such as log notes,
comments, scene number,
shot/take number, and so on.
5.
6. The media plays a very important
role in most community, public
policy, national, and international
conflicts.
Depending on the nature and the
amount of media coverage, the
situation can be made better or
worse.
7. If the media does a good job of presenting
the issues clearly, from both sides' points of
view, much can be done to correct
misunderstanding and avoid escalation borne
from rumors and fear.
Coverage of moderate, rather than extreme
positions is also helpful, as is coverage of
attempts to de-escalate or resolve the
conflict.
8. For theoretical purposes, it may be
convenient to separate the function of
management but practically these
functions are overlapping in nature
i.e. they are highly inseparable.
Each function blends into the other &
each affects the performance of
others.
9. There are four functions of
management that span across all
industries.
THEY INCLUDE: planning,
organizing, leading, and
controlling.
You should think about the four
functions as a process, where each
step builds on the others.
10. The base function is to: A. PLANNING
It is the foundation area of
management.
It is the base upon which the all the
areas of management should be built.
Planning requires administration to
assess; where the company is presently
set, and where it would be in the
upcoming.
11. From there an appropriate course of
action is determined and
implemented to attain the
company’s goals and objectives.
Planning is unending course of
action.
There may be sudden strategies
where companies have to face.
12. PLANNING. Sometimes they are
uncontrollable.
It is an external factors that
constantly affect a company both
optimistically and pessimistically.
Depending on the conditions, a
company may have to alter its course
of action in accomplishing certain
goals.
13. This kind of preparation, arrangement is
known as strategic planning.
IN STRATEGIC PLANNING, management
analyzes inside and outside factors that
may affect the company and so
objectives and goals.
14. Here they should have a study of
strengths and weaknesses,
opportunities and threats
(SWOT).
For management to do this
efficiently, it has to be very
practical and ample.
15.
16. The subsequent function is to: B.
ORGANIZE
The second function of the management is
getting prepared, getting organized.
Management must organize all its
resources well before in hand to put into
practice the course of action to decide
that has been planned in the base
function.
17. ORGANIZE
Through this process, management will
now determine the inside directorial
configuration; establish and maintain
relationships, and also assign required
resources.
While determining the inside directorial
configuration, management ought to look
at the different divisions or departments.
18. ORGANIZE

and try to find out the best way to handle
the important tasks and expenditure of
information within the company.

work according to its need. It also has to
decide for suitable departments to hand
over authority and responsibilities.

helps the management to
control and supervise the
actions of the staff.

and also accomplishing their
personal or career goals which can
be powered by motivation,
communication, department
dynamics, and department
leadership.

and incentive programs based

includes establishing performance
standards which are of course based on the
company’s objectives.
It also involves evaluating and reporting
of actual job performance.
When these points are studied by the
management then it is necessary to compare
both the things.
27. CONTROL
This study on comparison of both:
“decides further corrective” and
“preventive actions”.
In an effort of solving performance
problems, management should set a
higher standard.
They should straightforwardly speak
to the employee or department
having problem.
28. CONTROL
ON THE CONTRARY, if there are inadequate
resources or disallow other external factors
standards from being attained, management
had to lower their standards as per
requirement.

probable problems.
