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

                   Previously, I learned about how to craft an editorial for a newspaper, this knowledge talks about an example of model editorial writing and also the review.  Like previous studies in new features. Because I do not yet know about this knowledge, I will now need to read more about this topic because it is a useful topic for me in studying news, features, and editorial courses. Same as in the news features analysis rubric this news editorial rubric also has criteria in it. Clear position and argument, persuasive language, tone and voice, use of evidence and examples, addressing counterarguments, and engagement with the reader.  Having learned about this knowledge I now know that structural elements in news editorial are an introduction, thesis statement, body paragraphs, logical progression, and conclusion.  This knowledge is important to me in the workplace because it can practice my ability to write a news editorial that interests readers.

Summary

                   According to the lecture’s explanation and lecture note in their article titled “A Model of Editorial Writing and the Review,” it was stated that the article highlights the growing global concern about the adverse impacts of social media on children, particularly on Facebook and other internet giants. Social media puts children at risk of crimes, bullying, and radical views. The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) has detected a rise in crimes against children using social media apps, from 100 cases in 2011 to 322 in 2014. Parents, schools, and the state are aware of the dangers faced by children when they access social media, but there is no consensus on how to work together to protect them from harm in the cyber world. Parents and schools should play a key role in protecting children against the adverse impacts of social media, but they cannot do it all alone. Elementary and junior high schools may ban students' use of smartphones on school premises, but they have no power to ensure parents enforce the same policy at home. A survey conducted by Sheffield University in the UK found that the more time children spend in online networks, the less happy they feel about their school work, appearance, family, and life overall.
