It?s true, if someone has hope, faith and positive thinking, nothing is impossible. On the way while sharing on radio programs, Manandhar also informed to be very clear about the target audience, content, language and the way of presentation. Regarding the language used in radio journalism she said that it should be simple and easy to understand, no jargons should be included and the pace should be according to the audience. She also stated that every second is very important while you present and even your breathing pauses should be very pleasant to the audience. As we all love personalized service, so radio should make a person feel attached and only talking with one person. For example the presenter should say listener instead of listeners.
