Level : Level 3_B1+ Intermediate
Summary :
Winfrey entered the world of media since his teenage years. He landed his first job at a radio station for the African-American community in Nashville. Thanks to her good public speaking skills, Winfrey became a well-known female radio announcer in the city. Slowly, Winfrey's name became known as a news anchor after working at a private TV station. Winfrey has also frequently placed on talk shows to interview celebrities. Until 1985, Winfrey was recruited by a television station that was struggling to improve its morning program to gain ratings. This is where the birth of its flagship program, The Oprah Winfrey Show.
The start of this talk show was not easy, it even continued to experience a decline in ratings. Winfrey then changed the focus of her show by taking the topic of "strength and kindness" which focuses on spirituality and tips on raising children.Thanks to his efforts, his talkshow program gradually became known because it was considered different from other programs. The profit from this event is estimated by Forbes to have reached US $ 2 billion.
After the last broadcast of her show in 2011, Winfrey began to expand into the realm of publication, namely by publishing The Oprah Magazine which managed to have 2.4 million monthly subscribers and became the top women's magazine in America.
Success with his magazine, Winfrey also started his own cable TV channel, namely the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). His success in owning his personal channel is worth US $ 75 million according to Forbes.Of the various successes that have been achieved, Winfrey is now included in the Forbes list of highest-paid celebrities in 2020 at number 91 with revenues reaching US $ 37 million.
Even though he owns various luxury properties, tens of acres of land, and also a jet plane, Winfrey is always active in doing charity work. He even contributed US $ 10 million for assistance in handling the corona virus in America.
What I learned?
If Oprah could stand on her own two feet after rape and a miscarriage before age twenty, we could do a lot. Plus, her talk show aired when this specific genre wasn’t so very trendy. In fact, she was the one who made afternoon talk shows more of a refuge than a space for brawling.
What difficulties that I face while listening to the recording ?
I have a little bit problem with these videos. The words they used sometimes do not understand, but is okay.
