The next two sections cover communications with internal and external publics, while section 5 discusses using mass media as a communications tool, particularly the newspaper. Section 6 covers printed messages between vocational educators and their publics, including newsletters, brochures, pamphlets, letters, and posters. The next three sections discuss communication via visual media, verbal media, and audiovisual media. Section 10 covers advertising a program through paid advertising, billboards, and direct mail; section II is on planning special events, such as open houses and conferences. The last section provides guidelines for planning a National Vocational Education Week (NVEW) and includes a calendar of planning activities. (EM)
