Knowing your Audience Paper and Communication Paper
When sending a message you need to know who the audience that you are sending a message to. By knowing the audience you know the proper type of communication to use. When there is sensitive information that needs to be address knowing, your audience is vital. Make sure in the communication that there are creditability, privacy and respect to those that are affected. Before approaching the audience, we need to make sure what we are communicating can be verified. When speaking to the audience we want to ensure there is no miscommunicate or misinterpretation of the message we are trying to deliver. When delivering a message of tragedy that happened in Chile you need to do it face to face so you can also show how emotional this situation is. When addressing the audience you need to make sure you are eye contact and body language.
When delivering the messages to the families of the miners, one has to consider the role of the audience receiving this message. The receivers will include wives, parents, children, coworkers, and a host of other friends and family members who have to be informed of the situation at hand. One must be considerate of how mature some of these audience members are and their age range and must deliver this very sensitive matter to the family with facts and info needed but also at a level of personal consideration. To Families of the Trapped Miners via face-to-face meeting
It is being regret to announce to you today August 5, 2010 the collapse of our Cooper mine in Copiapo that has trapped family members far below the surface. We are still not aware of their location but making every effort to rescue your loved ones and bring them back to the surface. Many people around the world have volunteered to help save the miners. The first priority is locating your family members as quickly
