Hello friends, My name is Mewpov. I was born in Tangerang . I am a student of Muhammadiyah University of Tangerang and I majored in English Education. I'm in semester 6 right now.

My hobby is listening to music cause I think my voice is very sweet. I listen to a lot of songs from western and kpop. I'm not fixated on genres, I listen to all genres of music. My daily life is a student of the faculty of education. Right now I'm also helping to teach a few children in my place.

SUMMARY

                   According to Smith, D. (2010), author of “Introduction to Journalism. Student Activities Book.” states that there are several ways that news is gathered by reporters and editors. These include Eyewitness accounts, Event Calendars/Futures books, Press releases, stringers/freelance contributors, beat systems, wire services, interviews, and background research. News-gathering techniques involve interviewing skills and writing the story from the information gathered from interviews and other sources. The first technique is the events calendar, which can be a great resource for student journalists. Background research involves asking questions of people who know something about the topic or the person you are about to interview. Investigative reporting involves choosing an administrator, counselor, or teacher/lecturer whom you do not presently have for a class and finding out the following information without ever asking them a single question. The most important details in this text are the steps involved in writing a mini-biography about a teacher. This mini-biography will be presented to the teacher to check that the facts are correct. Finally, the interview will be conducted to get the "meatiest" information. To prepare for the interview, it is important to make an appointment in advance, learn as much about the topic or person as possible, know what you want to accomplish in the interview, and make a list of 15-20 good solid questions. Finally, the interview story should be written, beginning with an appropriate lead, alternate quotes, and transitions, and ending on a quote. Pay special attention to how you handle the quotes and attribution.

REFLECTION

                   I have upgraded my understanding of what processes are in news gathering and interviewing. I now think that news gathering is an important process that must be known because it can help reporters and editors in making news. Newsgathering and interviewing focus on news-gathering techniques with a special emphasis on interviewing skills and writing the story from the information gathered from interviews and other sources. For me, the most useful learning in this news gathering and interviewing is to make us understand that gathering news has several techniques that can be used to get information. Starting from the event calendar stage where we can contain important events that will be news material to the stage of conducting the interview. I have improved my understanding of the types of interviews like fact and group interviews, the types of questions to ask using 5w+1h, and about types of quotes and transitions such as direct and indirect quotations. This knowledge is helpful for me to be able to collect and write news which will be useful in improving my writing skills. Later, I thought that this knowledge can help me to be able to start writing good news sequentially according to the stages described.

LEARNING STRATEGIES

                        Learning strategies are several series of student activities for the learning process in achieving the goals of learning activities. Each person has a different strategy in the learning process that is done. Every time I learn something new, I have different ways to complete a duty done. First, I will make a list that contains which tasks or lessons that I will do. I used to write it in a small post it and then stick it on the study table to make it easy to see. Second, I will do it in the most comfortable place in my opinion the comfortable room is in my bedroom more precisely on the study table. Third, I am very happy to do the learning process accompanied by a quiet music. I have one playlist that I always play if I am doing the learning process where I will feel more excited in doing it. Finally, after learning has been comfortable and enjoyable then I will try to start understanding the task I am working on, such as summarizing what I have to do in an easy understand language. I think it can all help me in doing the learning process to meet the goals of the learning activities that I do.
