Our plan for the distribution of our media outputs that we created this term was to place hard copies of our output in the right hands. By this I mean giving our media to people that will be able to do something with it. More specifically, with our sound slide on the army, we planned to go to the base and drop off a few copies with relevant people. We attempted to do so this morning, but the power was cut and thus we could not show our work. Towards the end of the week, we will drop off a DVD at the base, for distribution and showings amongst themselves. For instance, we would like the Officer in Command as well as the Communications Officer with whom we’ve been working to see our work and give us feedback.
The Officer in Command saw our first soundslide, and approved of it, thus strengthening the relationship we have built with the army as Rhodes University journalism students. By giving copies to these people, the media we have produced will be distributed effectively. With a print version of our sound slide in coming out in Grocott’s in two week’s time, our entire ward will be able to see and read about what 6 SAI Battalion is about. Our last attempt at distribution will take place on Sunday in Tantyjie. Our group is having a media showing at a local church after the morning service. This will give us the opportunity to show some of the Grahamstown community what the army is about through the anecdotal stories of the subjects used in our final sound slide.
