On the occasion Tully said, “India and Indians are known for skillful communications and good communications is the foundation of good public relations”. Talking further about his love for radio he said “Radio as a medium inculcates the habit of listening among the masses. Listening gives you an opportunity to draw inferences from the speaker’s talk and you can draw your own imaginations in your mind about the situations and the individuals; as such it further inspires an individual to undertake his creative pursuits.”

He gave the analogy of fad for travel by air, how people travel by air even to destination which are more comfortable to cover by train or road; similarly fad for television is working against radio.

Mark Tully touched upon “Samvaad” in the society in today’s general and political context. He highlighted how over a period of time Samvaad had been dominated by acquisitions and cross-acquisitions rather than constructive and convincing arguments and cross argument. He emphasised how creative and effective listening has been adopted by Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa and other great leaders of the world in bringing together the masses and build Nations. He once again drew attention of PR professionals for deeply understanding this to meet the professional     Intent in developing and communicating their message to the masses in a more efficient manner.
