During the week of 7th July one of our volunteers Dr Sue O’Neill conducted an exercise in analysing presenters on air during that particular week. The results were compared to a similar exercise conducted in 2003. The key findings were : The number of women presenting has increased (+ 8%) The number of non-irish has increased (+ 5%) The number of young people is not increasing and is almost static. 15 former staff are now volunteers. 96% of those on air that week were volunteers. 70% of those on air that week were from our licenced Remember the Grove – every second friday night on catchment area. Nearfm The number of those on air that week from Dublin 17 was very low. While the analysis is only a snapshot of that particular week, the Committee of Management has agreed to look at how this data can be used for future development of Near fm.

Next time you are in the studio have a look at the levels when you talk and playback music and then look at the levels when the promo’s start...this will give you some idea of the output. Use your headphones to monitor the levels. Otherwise you risk being very loud, or indeed very quiet, and listeners will tune out. All levels have been preset to the 12 o’clock position on the trims (volume knobs)...and if really need to adjust anything it should be adjusted from here (but you shouldn’t need to adjust any levels!!) Under no circumstances should any presenter adjust output levels from any of the studio computers. If you notice a problem tell Sally or Gay. Levels are set for a reason, and incorrect adjustments can lead to transmitter over modulation, which can be costly. Studio Rules The Red Light on means don’t enter!! Studio duty personnel may need to enter in certain circumstances. Headphones – Use them. ! You can’t monitor your voice and other output levels without them. Maybe, you’re not being heard? You’ll never know, without headphones. Guest Microphones – Monitor their levels. Are you using the right fader? Remember to use prefade listen beforehand. Drinks – Liquids are a no no anywhere near radio equipment. Papers – Bring them in for your programme. Take them away afterwards!! Messy studios lead to messy programme. RULE OF THUMB..LEVELS FROM BOTH THE LEFT AND Start on time – Finish on Time. Leave room for promos. Don’t leave the next presenter waiting!! RIGHT CHANNELS SHOULD BE PEAKING AROUND 6 WWW.TWITTER.COM/NEARFM SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2012 A few Do’s and Don’ts for radio Consider using social media (Facebook, Twitter, Blog etc) for your programme.

  • Re-Tweeting Election #Ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD
    Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Aodhán O Ríordáin TD 1 Re-Tweeting Election #ge11 Introduction The 2011 General Election was the first Twitter Election in Ireland. The appetite for increased engagement, accountability and interaction via the social media platform followed the resignation of Defence Minister Willie O’Dea in February 2010, in part because of a carefully composed tweet. By January 2011, Twitter was part of the daily political discourse, as candidates posted their thoughts, policies, pictures and links in the competitive war to raise profiles and attract eyeballs. The beauty of Twitter is that it allows your ‘followers’ to view you in a different lens from the normal political script, and to engage with you on a variety of topics political, personal, trivial and even philosophical. It also allows politicians break some news at appropriate times, and share views on national events without the constraints of a formal press release. This ebook is based on all the tweets published over the course of the General Election campaign, from the announcement of Labour’s motion of no confidence in the government to the day of the election result. It is important to consider that the commentary on the tweets was completed in the months immediately after the election in February 2011, when my memory of events and emotions was still raw and fresh, and not two years later. Therefore, the commentary provided is frozen in 2011 and has not been altered to take account of two years in government and developments in 2013. The tweets and reflections are frozen in time.

The Archiving Scheme ("the Scheme") was established in May 2012furlher to Section 15a (1)(e) of the Act. As the Scheme did not exist at the time of the establishment of the Act, the question of a review in accordance with section 158 (1) did not arise at that time. The Scheme seeks to contribute to the preservation of lreland's broadcasting heritage and a record of lrish culture, heritage and experience by supporting the development of an archiving culture in the lrish broadcasting sector. The Scheme was initially approved until the end of December 2014 and two rounds were run during this period. Following consultation with the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, the Scheme was granted an extension by the Minister until the 30th April 2016 and one further round was run during this period. ln the last quarter of 2016, the BAI undertook a review of the Scheme, as required under Section 158 of the Act and in accordance with the rules of the Scheme.
