“Know Your Audience” activity

Your ITV site will be assigned to one of the following groups. As you hear each presentation (3 total), rate it from the viewpoint of your assigned group. The rating form is on the back of this sheet.

Group #1

You are a group of legislators in your state. Your current proposed budget is already over budget and you only have 3 days left in session. To add anything to the budget at this point would require the session going into overtime. This action would not sit well with the voters because it costs taxpayers money. If the cause is worthy enough, your voters would hope that you put in the extra hours to provide for the taxpayers.

Group #2

You are a group of hospital administrators. The entire state hospital system is already operating in the RED. But your mission is to provide health care for citizens across the state. It is not acceptable in the stakeholder’s eye for these hospitals to be operating at (or below!) the national average on health care issues – but the hospital can’t continue to operate in the RED and must prioritize.

Group #3

You are a child advocacy group. Your number-one mission is to ensure the health and well-being of children across the state. However, you must prioritize your issues as it is impossible to address everything at one time. Right now, your number-one issue is child abuse.

Group #4

You represent the media. You have your usual deadlines (2 minutes ago!) as well as your need to “sell newspapers” (airtime, etc.). You know that a story with an emotional hook will “sell.” You cannot afford to spend your time chasing stories that the public is not going to read.
