Overview of Program: Bob Brown
Critique:
From now until election day Blacks appearing on radio and TV shows
and facing the press in support of the President should master the
tools of communication with understanding and make maximum
utilization of whatever time is given.
The following suggestions are made:
1. Be prepared
a. Know who is going to be on the program and
something about them.
b. Know something about the host/narrator and
political leanings.
C. Know the program format.
d. Write an outline on the main points you hope
to get across.
e. Rehearse, if possible call in a few assistants
and have them quiz you.
2. Do your homework
a. Dig for current facts and statistics. If your
memory is bad, jot down key facts with a phrase
to jog your memory on a 3x5 card.
b. Research your audience and try to anticipate
their main interest and relate to them in your
answers.
C. Find out the weak spots of the opposition and
probe sensitive areas whenever possible; however,
at the same time know your weak spots and be pre-
prepared to offer a good defense.
d. Research the opposition and their representatives.
Be prepared to dispute their erroneous statements
with facts.
3. Know your medium
a. Television: practice your prepared statements
before a mirror, correct your "head bobbing" or
looking up at the ceiling or down at the floor while
talking. Answer questions directly. Maintain
your composure and keep your "cool".
b. Radio: organize your thoughts, remember that your
listeners cannot see you so your voice must paint a
paint a picture of what you are all about.
C. Don't lose your cool. Organize your thoughts before
you speak.
d. Develop confidence in what you have to say and say
it with meaning and organization.
-3-
4. Remember the clock
a. Time is your enemy on radio and TV, but it can
be a friend if you use it. Seconds count. Don't
waste any. Make your statement in capsule form
and elaborate if time permits.
