Atricle Dump - China Media Booms
It used to be common for workers to scoff at the idea of wearing any sort of personal protection equipment, or PPE. However, the times, the technology and the laws have changed. The workplace today is a much safer place as a result.The Occupational Safety and Health Act was passed in 1970 to “assure safe and healthy working conditions for working men and women”. OSHA, the governmental agency responsible for the enforcement of the 1970 Act, determines the safety regulations required for all businesses in the US.Hardhats, safety glasses and goggles, steel-toed boots, protective clothing, harnesses and radioactive dosimeter badges are just a few examples of PPE that may be required on today’s job-sites. The degree and type of PPE use is dependent on the industry.Mandatory Personal Protective EquipmentOSHA requires that all workers use mandatory PPE in any job that poses a threat to one’s health. It is the employer’s responsibility to assess the workplace for potential health threats and implement the necessary steps to address any hazard. If such a hazard is present, the employer must supply the PPE and educate the employee on both the potential hazards and the proper use of the PPE.Safety glasses

Nobody notices normal. I learned that early in life when I discovered my secret calling to be a class clown. I quickly learned that the key to being funny is in saying what people don’t expect you to say - taking assumptions and shattering them. It’s not about fitting in. It’s about getting noticed. When you are different people remember you. It’s something that has been proven true throughout my years as a writer, storyteller, comedian, and professional speaker. Look around you at the different industries to examples of what I’m talking about. Musicians who succeed are those who have a different sound. Comedians who have a unique perspective on life. Speakers with a different concept. Reality TV. Commercials with talking lizards. I rest my case.While I like to think that I am talented and full of wit, I’m afraid it’s not the talent or the humor that gets me hired. It’s the fact that I bring something different to the table. I have found ways (some intentionally, some not) of being different on many levels – from my promotional materials, to my website presence, to the way I treat my clients. And that’s why I buy into the principle that the key to success is to study what everybody else is doing and do the opposite. Create yourself as a ca
In just, 10 years, the media in has exploded. But it is still heavily regulated and owned and controlled by the state run Communist Party. Most local media is pro-China in its content and style and is used as a tool for control and influence over the country's huge population.
There are also limits on foreign journalists - where they can travel and to whom they can speak. Overseas media regularly have their offices screened and their activities are closely monitored.
Taiwan, Tibet and human rights issues are strictly off the editorial agenda.
Despite this, consumerism has well and truly arrived in China. There's now an increased sophistication in the market - and marketing communications, brand management and reputation building have become big business.
There is no such thing as privately owned media in China - and foreign companies are restricted. Consumerism is driving up advertising revenue. The dominant Chinese television network, CCTV is said to earn a total of 1 billion yuan or A$200 million a year.
So in this environment how can Australian companies effectively get their message across and plan marketing communications strategies in China?

Have a favorite charity or non-profit community cause to which you contribute time and resources? Chances are your company will be interested in supporting it, too.According to the Giving USA 2004 study released by the Giving USA Foundation in the summer of 2004, American individuals, estates, foundations, and corporations gave an estimated $240.72 billion to charitable causes in 2003. In the US, during the five years spanning 1998-2002, corporations contributed $55 billion, (5%) of the total $1135 billion. Corporations also gave through foundations, which contributed an addition $121 billion (11%) of the five year total.People tend to be aware that there are financial benefits to corporations for donating to charities and that corporations want to be good, forward-acting citizens. What people—and many organizations—don’t realize yet is that there are still other motivators and benefits for corporate giving. The fact is, increasing numbers corporations are extending the benefits of their corporate giving activities by leveraging them as team building programs and employee support initiatives that increase even further the benefits these activities bring to the company itself.For example, according to Marjorie Polycarpe i

Merger and acquisition (M&A) activities seem to be on the increase. Companies who act as consultants and brokers play an important role in this, and ensure smooth and hassle-free deals. It is logical to seek their assistance if you are thinking of thinking of merging a company with yours, plan new acquisitions, or want to sell your business.The good merger and acquisition companies have experienced professionals with them. They monitor different types and sizes of companies and study the developments in the business world constantly. Sometimes the clients approach them with a specific merger or acquisition target in mind. The consultant's job in such cases is to help in negotiating if the client so desires, organize third party valuation and attend to the formalities and details. If the client wants suggestions for M&A, the consultants would be ready with suitable suggestions and make detailed presentations. In both cases, some consultants offer to arrange funding if necessary.A person or company wanting to sell the business may not know how to go about it. They would do well to contact a reputed M&A company. The consultant would analyze the strength and weaknesses of the business, have the assets valuated, work out a minimum price

Meetings are as diverse in their purpose and structure as the speakers who are on the platform at these meetings. They can be international, national, regional. They can be internal meetings, external meetings, sales meetings, client conferences, user conferences, annual conferences or leadership retreats.Once you have determined the purpose, theme and structure of your meeting you will have a better idea of your speaker needs. The following descriptions will help you define exactly how you utilize a speaker’s services:Keynote Speaker (keynote - the main idea or theme).In public speaking the word keynote refers to the principal underlying theme of a larger idea hence the topic that a keynote speaker addresses usually relates to the reason or purpose behind a meeting.The keynote address or keynote speech:An opening keynote speaker is bought in to set the underlying tone and summarize the core message or most important revelation of the event. A closing keynote speaker will be engaged to end a conference on a high note. If an event is held over a longer period of time, it is not unusual to have a different keynote speaker for each day of the event. Often referred to as “featured keynote speaker"Gene

"China is very conscious of reforming its media and has some relatively progressive thinking internally about where to take it," said Gary Davey CEO of Star TV in Hong Kong. "But it's going to take a very long time because they are equally sensitive about the importance of control."
An older generation of bureaucrats still sees the media, and television in particular, as a propaganda device and any attempt to reform it into a commercially driven business raises great suspicion amongst the Chinese leadership.
In the past the News Corporation owned STAR TV has upset Chinese authorities and Davey is quick to point out the sensitivities of the Chinese marketplace, especially when it comes to cultural differences.
"You might be able to run a successful State-run security operation by trying to force your own cultural values down someone else's throat, but you certainly can't run a business doing that."
STAR TV has had to develop strategies that fit these realities. "We've created new companies with Chinese partners to play a part in the evolution of the policy," Davey said.
The days of handing out long red envelopes filled with cash to journalists at press conferences in China could also well be over. The industry is trying to clean up its act and has recently released a new code of practice for both public relations professionals and journalists.
The local media is still very pro-China in its content and style but the practice of accepting cash and gifts in return for running positive stories is now being phased out.
