Summary

This eight-lesson video course is a powerful tool for church communication leaders. Journalism and electronics pioneer Benjamin Franklin is engagingly portrayed by Ralph Archbold, your host for this guided tour. The series revisits the beginning of communication and takes the viewer into the present day explosion of technology.

Each 25- to 35-minute information-packed lesson deals with an aspect of the work of the local church communication leader, orienting them to the complicated, fast-moving world of journalism, public relations, and media production. Although the videos are targeted toward local church communication leaders, pastors as well as conference and institutional communication personnel will find them informative and invaluable as well.

Note: Naturally, the field of communication is a perpetually changing field, and these videos contain some information that is out of date. However, they contain sufficient core information for communicators that remains relevant today.

Series produced in 1990 by the Southern Union Conference Communication Department.
