ST MEDIA CAMP

ST MEDIA CAMP

More than 100 students aspiring to be a journalist came for the 2 day camp at the SPH auditorium... I was partly one of them although I did not really wanted to be a journalist... But I learnt a lot of things like what it takes to be a journalist, as we people have the mind that journalism are all about writing and being busy body... but it is more than that ,as being a journalist as you should be thick skin, tough, have stamina and most importantly persevere to get your work done... Another information that I get to know was the making of newspaper that was really interesting. It involves the journalist, editor, sub-editor, photo journalist and the correspondent. As there are different sections in the newspaper such as ‘Life’ and ‘Sports’ it really takes a lot of time to get their articles ready . But the newspaper articles had to be ready as early as 4a.m. for print, and at the print the newspaper had to be given to the supplier by 5.30a.m. for sale. Hence, we people are able to get our newspaper latest by 7.30a.m. Lastly we get to know that net can be used as a source to engage the youths with news paper… We were also able to have the feel at the print and were able to see the big machines too… I would say that it was kind of a useful camp for me.
