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

                   This knowledge is talk about a comprehensive guide to crafting an editorial for a newspaper. Because I do not yet know about this knowledge, I will now need to read more about this knowledge because it is a useful topic for me in studying news, features, and editorial courses. This knowledge is important to me because I can learn and gain more knowledge about news editorials to ensure engagement and intrigue for the audience. An editorial essay presents the author's perspective on a specific subject or proposes a solution to an ongoing issue. By implementing this knowledge I can know more about creating an impactful editorial. Having learned about this knowledge I now know that editorials focus on contentious or pressing topics, often sparking discourse among readers. I have developed my knowledge of this material that the goal is to inform and, in the case of editorials, possibly persuade while ensuring clarity and accessibility for readers with varying levels of English proficiency.
