Ntsoaki Shoeshoe Qhu commented on MDDA/Sanlam Local Media Awards 2012 - announcement of the winners
I believe the awards play a pivotal role in restoring some pride and drive in the community media and small media sector- an Industry hardly recognised in South Africa.

The MDDA and Sanlam did a very good job pulling the event together- and I believe they should be commended for a job well done.

To maybe comment of what @Pathatic say- I wouldn’t say the event was a complete disaster because your wife was not notified. However, I think the organisers could have done a better job and ensured that the finalists were at the gala. Which Community Media is your wife from?

Ntsoaki Shoeshoe Qhu commented on MTN Radio Awards: Joffe responds to Rothschild
I have now been following this trail of discussion religiously. I must say it gets interesting with each post.

I don’t think Mr Rothschild will be able to answer; "So, once again, does the MTN Radio Awards actually reward excellence or is it an exercise in self-sponsored self-promotion?"

With that said, it is stated on their website (MTN Radio Awards) that, "It is the intention of the Awards to ensure that radio talent in all areas receives due recognition, and that talented producers and presenters at all radio stations are motivated … that meets the needs of their listener and entrenches the relationship between the station and the listener ".

I will not say to what extent the awards achieve this, but as someone coming from the Community Radio sector, with friends in the industry, I think there is a level of motivation for presenters and producers that win or gets even allowed by the station management to nominate themselves for the #MTNRadioAwards. I think part of the reasons the station play the promos is because they are happy with their achievement. Motivation there for me is achieved.

Since all this is done for the benefit of the listener and the relationship between the station and the listener, why not add the listener there as a judge. Perhaps #MTNRadioAwards can then pay for the ads to be flight on all the stations that have entered and run a few Ads on print. That will certainly benefit the community radio station- and they can use part of the advertising money to pay for flights or bus travels, accommodation and for the gala dinner. Geoff, I am sure then we can say MTN is actually spending something. :)

My question to Mr Rothschild, are the #MTNRadioAwards a commercial event or an initiative by MTN to invest in our Society?

I think this will then clarify, certainly to me, on whether MTN wants to spend on the awards or wants to break even, or perhaps even make a profit.

Mr Rothchild, I think this is a really great suggestion, consider it for next time, will you. “… It would have been nice to hear some radio clips of the finalists and even some comments from the 22 judges; it just felt like nominee after nominee, award after award, and nothing in between to spice it up.”

@BasilMashabane: The awards have actually been running for three years now if I am not mistaken.

I think @GraemeJoffe is raining a number of important issues here.

How are you really certain when judging a pre-recorded show which is edited?

The price was indeed a bit too high- as a result, I radio lover could not attend.

With all that said, I would like to also point out that it is quite expensive to host such awards. Sending judges around the country in these times would also cost quite a lot.

However, I don’t think nominees should pay, as they will be pumping across their platforms MTN- giving them grand brand exposure. Again, since I did not nominate myself or anyone, I wouldn’t know for sure on whether all the nominees paid.

Ntsoaki Shoeshoe Qhu commented on Intergrating Pinterest into email marketing campaigns
It must be a bit oblivious of me, I had actually never heard of Pinterest till I read this.

I have just requested an invite. I must say that the idea of requesting to be invited to a social network does not fully add to me.
I am not sure if my friends will request the invite and actually wait for it to come- if by the time it gets to them they still remember what Pinterest is.

And the one other thing, uh that logo looks hideous. It is not going anywhere close to my signature. Nah nah
