Keys to Writing a Winning Presentation

Ø      Create an Outline.  You may not think you need to outline your topic, but be assured it will save you time in the long run.  Outlining your entire presentation before you set out to write it lets you organize the flow of information and ensure that you have included all of the relevant topics.   One great trick for outlining is to write each key topic on a Post-it note and map it out on a large white board.  The sticky notes can be moved and reordered until you find a logical progression.

The information age

The term has been noted as identifying an era when "ideas about the computer, the internet, or digital resources seem to influence policy decisions more than social concerns about access, privacy or preservation."

Thus, the term "Information Age" is often applied in relation to the use of cell phones, digital music, high definition television, digital cameras, the Internet, cable TV, and other items that have come into common use in the past 30 years.

THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: the case of media coverage of PMTCT in South Africa

ROCHELLE DAVIDSON

INTRODUCTION

According to the United Nations Development Report (2002) progression in the achievement of gender equity and empowerment for women and girls is the third Millennium Development Goal. The report states, “Worse outcomes for women in many aspects of human development result from the fact that their voices have less impact than men’s in the decisions that shape their lives” (23). In particular, the situation of HIV/AIDS the “voiceless” position of women is an actuality that contributes to the risk and vulnerability of women and girls in Sub-Saharan Africa, with approximately 75% of all HIV-positive women worldwide living in this region (UNAIDS, 2004). With poor women being a high-risk group for HIV infection, PMTCT involves many social issues surrounding gender and poverty that create a very complex story. Past coverage of PMTCT issues has been focused on political controversy, making for sensational and one-dimensional stories, often ignoring the voices of those directly affected.
