Reference excerpt

Tuvalu Media Corporation (TMC) was a government-owned corporation established in 1999 to take over the radio and print based publications of the Broadcasting and Information Office (BIO) of the small Pacific Island nation of Tuvalu. However, in 2008 operating as a corporation was determined not to be commercially viable and the Tuvalu Media Corporation then became the Tuvalu Media Department (TMD) under the Office of the Prime Minister. As the BIO, TMC and now the TMD, the organisation is the public broadcasting organisation in Tuvalu. Melali Taape is the General Manager of the Tuvalu Media Department (2015). The Tuvalu Broadcasting Corporation took its place in 2015.

Radio Tuvalu The Tuvalu Media Department operates one station on the AM frequencies under the name Radio Tuvalu, which broadcasts from the main atoll of Funafuti since 14 August 1975. In 2011 the Japanese government provided financial support to construct a new AM broadcast studio. The installation of upgraded transmission equipment allows Radio Tuvalu to be heard on all nine islands of Tuvalu. The new AM radio transmitter on Funafuti replaced the FM radio service to the outer islands and freed up satellite bandwidth for mobile services. The station broadcasts Tuvaluan programming 3 times a day. Transmission hours are: in the morning: 6:30am – 8:00am; afternoon: 11:25am – 1:00pm; evening: 6:25pm – 10:00pm. When Radio Tuvalu is off the air, programming from the BBC is transmitted. Radio Tuvalu provides special broadcasts during general elections, such as during the 2015 Tuvaluan general election.

Print publications

Tuvalu Echoes was a fortnightly newspaper published from 1983 by the BIO and subsequently by the TMC. Publication was in English and Tuvaluan, with the newspaper in an A4-sized format. Sikuleo o Tuvalu was a newsletter in the Tuvaluan language that was first published in 1983. Publication was hampered by the printer breaking down and lack of paper and ink and these publications were closed down in 2007. Fenui – news from Tuvalu is a free digital publication of the Tuvalu Media Department that is emailed to subscribers and operates a Facebook page, which publishes news about government activities and news about Tuvaluan events, such as a special edition covering the results of the 2015 general election.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tuvalu Media Corporation

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tuvalu Media Corporation claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tuvalu Media Corporation before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tuvalu Media Corporation ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tuvalu Media Corporation

In research: Tuvalu Media Corporation appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tuvalu Media Corporation in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tuvalu Media Corporation is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1999 establishments in Tuvalu, Communications in Tuvalu, Mass media companies established in 1999, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tuvalu Media Corporation outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
