Guest Speaker: John Fink

Television, like any media industry, is a constantly changing medium.  It is not easy to survive and make it within the industry.  But those who end up staying, and making a living within the industry, do learn some tricks about the industry that can be seen through the manner in which they present themselves.

Broadcast television mogul John Fink, who is the current general manager of KFVE, came recently and spoke to a group of college students at Hawaii Pacific University under the pretense of sharing knowledge about his experience within the industry, as well on the changing medium as a whole.  Fink arrived at the class to speech dressed quite casually.  Though a Caucasian male, he adorned a fairly worn-in Aloha shirt with dark colored slacks.  The attire denote the history he has had with the island and the local culture. 
Fink's appearances and presentation was very professional.  As he spoke to the students in a very professional manner.  Fink did not have any elaborate accessories, and could have by any standards passed as a Kama' aina (local)  by any standards.  Throughout the speech he gave to students he would intermittently include in very subtle smiles.  Fink appeared very professional, and was, to say the very least, camera ready at any moment.
