My opinion of news writing and as a citizen journalist

                   As citizen journalists, we can learn to use websites such as blogs, podcasts as well as social media, and YouTube to disseminate information. Citizen journalism can use the platform to write news writing. Using platforms such as bloggers can help citizen journalism in writing news writing. Blogger can be used easily with various features in it such as there is a comment feature that makes it easier for readers to provide feedback to the author. Make it easier for citizen journalism to reach their news writing access to a larger readership. Create news writing by collecting credible, accurate, and objective information. News writing is based on facts without bias. For the information shown to be accountable, as a citizen journalism must conduct news gathering first before writing news writing. News gatherings can be done such as conducting interviews and background research. Write news that becomes informative and valuable to the readers. Make good use of existing platforms in the stage of improving writing skills.

Reflection

                   Through discussion about analyzing and writing a news story, I now realize that a news story contains a detailed report of an event. The most helpful aspect for me has been that the structure used in news features writing also to follow the structure usually used in news writing with an inverted pyramid writing style for news reporting. Having read the material about news features, I now realize that important information is at the top of the news, and unimportant at the bottom of the story. This lesson means that a news story requires the ability to sort information ranging from important to unimportant without affecting the overall coherence of the news and also making it easier for editors to condense the news. These skills will be essential to me as a learner of news, features, and editorial courses because I can know and learn more about this knowledge also this knowledge is essential to me in the workplace later in the future because I can know and improve the ability to create a good and true news story and pay attention to namely headlines, lead, the body of the text, and the ending.

Summary

                   According to the lecture’s explanation and lecture note in their article titled “An example of a feature story in news writing and its analysis and feedback,”  it was stated that The Jakarta Post lists six must-try noodle joints in Bandung, West Java, including Kedai Wanmin's deep, rich-brothed bowl of 'niu rou mian' (beef noodle), Rumah Makan Linggarja's beef soup with wheat flour noodles, and Kedai Wanmin Jl. Semar's beef soup with wheat flour noodles and spicy and sour soup with sweet potato noodles. The feature story about six must-try noodle joints in Bandung is rated as good based on the news writing style analysis criteria rubric. The headline lists six must-try noodle joints, but could be more engaging. The lead effectively introduces the premise of exploring notable noodle spots, adhering to the inverted pyramid structure. The tone and voice are descriptive and subjecve, but could be improved with more varied rhetorical analysis principles. The language features and vocabulary are excellent, but lacks direct quotes from interviews or external sources.
