INFORMATION
DISSEMINATE
Advice Now says that the key to the effective distribution of information is the
proper matching of the medium to the message. Always adopt a method that will
work for your intended audience. That’s why traditional media must be used in
some circumstances, even though it is slower than outlets on the internet. Many
senior citizens, for example, only use the internet for certain functions, if at all.
Therefore, if your audience is seniors, you may need to use traditional outlets such
as radio, television, and even print newspapers. Sometimes other means of hard
copy, such as brochures, are appropriate as giveaways where the targeted audience
can read the information at a later date.
Types of Communication for Information
Information used for dissemination can be divided into various types. Not all types
of information are relevant to communities as a whole but are of interest to a
targeted audience and depend on the audience’s level of education and literacy and
problems that may be relevant to them. Practical information covers employment
opportunities, new products, and the like. Referral information involves statistical
and quantitative data that may be analyzed to discover trends. Condensed
information gives the audience a concise picture of the contents of a book, digest,
or other abstracts where comprehensive information is detailed. Repackaged
information is a means of explaining technical data so a layperson can easily
understand it.
Mass Media is the Most Trusted
Because of the prevalence of internet outlets, mass media is
often overlooked as a way to disseminate information.
However, for many situations, such as weather alerts,
emergencies and such, television, and radio broadcasts provide
the most effective means of communication. Mass
communications, in particular, have a high degree of trust. As
many as 90 percent of people get their information from mass
media and indicate that they trust these sources the most. Even
though most stories won’t be broadcast on national television,
local media outlets are considered a viable route for
disseminating crucial information.
One thing is for certain, information
dissemination is constantly changing.
Communication, as a whole, has changed
dramatically in the last 50 years. With additional
ways to disseminate information, one could
expect that the next 10 years will see additional
ways to broadcast information.
Information Dissemination
should be fact and detailed
information when it is
distributed to the public.
We can also disseminate
information through essays,
academic papers, and research in
a proper manner.
To Persuade
It is pushing across an idea and convincing people
or readers to support the idea that you want to
convey.
