This document provides an overview of a public affairs breakout session discussing strategies for improving communication through newspapers and other public affairs tools. Key points discussed include:
1) Transitioning newspapers to focus more on effects-based communication by exploiting strengths like analysis and addressing weaknesses like timeliness.
2) Implementing a "PA kill chain" approach to public affairs that mirrors the targeting process for identifying audiences, developing messages, selecting appropriate media, engaging audiences, and assessing effectiveness.
3) Pursuing "convergence" of public affairs tools and eliminating barriers between internal and external communication approaches.
CPWF, Research into Use (RIU) inception / review workshop, Bangkok, 25-28 Oct. 2011, Communication and knowledge Management in support of your research, Michael Victor
My presentation at PRSA ICON 2012 focused on industry trends impacting media relations and how this constant state of change can be more of an opportunity than anything else.
Finding warm bodies to meet your recruitment goals may be a relatively easy task. But finding the right mentors can be very difficult. Developing an effective recruitment strategy takes creativity, flexibility, innovation, and a good amount of brunt work. This month's webinar will focus on several key practices recommended in the field, including marketing tools, messaging, analyzing data, the importance of partnerships, and the establishment of a sound recruitment plan. Friends for Youth's Mentoring Institute Program Director Sarah Kremer and Recruitment Specialist Jonathan Cowgill will also share some best practices and our own program's recruitment experiences.
Join us as we navigate what works and what doesn't work as you start your fall mentor recruitment campaigns!

#First_India_NewsPaper
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

F2T2EA Another avenue that will lead to compression of the kill chain entails eliminating what Jumper calls cultural “stovepipes” within the F2T2EA cycle. Stovepipes refers to specialized career fields, such as space, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and communications, that contribute data to the warfighter The service also instituted a task-force approach to develop requirements.
