Therefore, I believe we have all come here to meet with experts to discuss the means of communication through the use of MEDIA resources.

MEDIA:

Is the means or channels of general communication, information or entertainment that is used to reach or influence people widely. Such channels are radio, television, newspaper, magazine, blogs, social networks e.t.c.

RESOURCE:

JUST CONNECT:

Connection (i.e. CONNECT) is a link, bond, connecting part, bridge that brings/joins two or more things together.

However, there is no connection with a medium (i.e. MEDIA)

MY OWN MEANING OF MEDIA M = Make

I = Intuition/Insight

A = Appeasing

MEDIA AND GOVENRMENT

Media serves as the medium for the leaders of a Nation/state to communicate with those they govern and vice versa.

Media conveys the message from both ends to each other. Without the media, there is no communication.

Media portrays a picture of the government to the people and vice versa.

YOUTH, MEDIA AND GOVERNMENT. Passion Enthusiastic Agility Creativity/Innovation Connectivity Uniqueness Good researcher Be adventurous Focus Think out of the box, while in the box.

Quote: “No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent” – Abraham Lincoln

CONCLUSION Be resourceful in your quest for

greatness, as a Journalist.

Quote: “There is no greatness without the passion to be great, whether it’s the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent or a business person” - Anthony Robbins

Embrace failure, because you learn from it.

Quote: “If you’re not willing to fail, then you’re not ready to grow. In the process of trying to walk, a child falls. Be a reasonable risk-taker” – Temitayo Oyediran.

Don’t just communicate with people, but connect.

Quote: “When you connect with others, you position yourself to make the most of your skills and talents” – John Maxwell

Service

Quote: “Good leaders must first become good servants” – Robert Greenleaf

Visualize - View to See where it Lies.

Quote: “Visualize tomorrow but value today. The secret of success is determined by your daily agenda and daily activities to your goal” – John C. Maxwell

Diligence.

Quote: “One thing is sure, that we have to do something. We have to do best we know how, at the moment. If it doesn’t turn out right, we can modify it as we go along” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

NOTE Youth is the stage between OLD

and YOUNG.

Therefore, we are neither the oldest nor the youngest, we are neither the smartest nor the dullest, we are neither the biggest nor the smallest, we are neither the greatest nor the weakest. We are just in between (i.e. MEDIUM)

The PAST has gone, the FUTURE is yet to come but the PRESENT is here and in between. BIRTH is gone, DEATH has not come but the LIVING is in between.

As Youths, we are the PRESENT and the LIVING.WE should endeavour to live the present with enthusiasm for greater future.
