Engagement: 

One of the main points discussed in this podcast is engagement. Holding the attention of your audience is eye to communicating effectively. One guest described incorporating changing aspects, and not remaining in one media for too long. This will take much time planning in advance; it is very closely to being staged. The end result will be shifts throughout the podcast or communications such as zoom meetings. Breakout rooms, videos, group work and interactive work all help to keeping your audience engaged (Mark, 2021). 

Presence:

A good communicator brings personality to their communication. Interacting with the audience, or with other speakers. Creating a trust between the listeners and the host is pertinent, and as described in the podcast, laughter is the best way to do this. Being an authentic speaker, even adding some self-disclosure into your communications can be helpful in creating a loyal audience (Mark, 2021). 

Execution: 

There is always a fear of misinterpretation with online communication. Make sure that you do not leave your meanings up in the air, be very direct with your delivery and use clear language (Singh, 2024). The easier the material is to understand, the more the audience will understand, retain, and connect.

In online communications this can even be opinionated statements.  2. Data: Data, or grounds as the diagram above shows, is the evidence or factual backing the supports the claim. Using credible research here is key.  3. Warrant: This connects the researched data and the claim, meaning it is used as further evidence.  4. Backing: Backing is further evidence to support the warrant, online communications may use reports or studies to back their warrant.  5. Qualifier: The qualifier is used to narrow the scope of claim.

Facebook: the good, the bad, and the ugly

     Social media and social networking definitely have drawbacks, but also many benefits. Social networking platforms open a world full of possibilities and connections for people. Whether that be finding a new job, making new friends, learning of ways to get involved in your community or simply asking complete strangers random questions you just need the answer to.
