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 talks about selecting engaging EFL news editorial topics and design interviews. Selecting interesting EFL (English as a Foreign Language) news topics involves considering several factors to ensure they are relevant and interesting to the audience. 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. For me, the most important aspect was where there are several factors to ensure they are relevant and interesting to the audience such as relevance, audience interest, uniqueness, timeliness, impact, balance, depth and breadth, credibility, engagement potential, and ethical considerations. By considering these factors, we can select engaging EFL news editorial topics that will resonate with the audience and contribute an informative publication such as a film review, the impact on social media, the importance of cultural exchange, etc. This knowledge is important to me in the workplace because we can develop the skills to write insightful, informative, and engaging reviews that contribute to and impact the audience. I have developed my knowledge of this material that review writing can give readers an idea of information about the various topics.

 

 

Summary

                   According to the lecture’s explanation and lecture note in their article titled “Selecting Engaging EFL News Editorial Topics and Design Interview,” it was stated that selecting engaging EFL news topics involves considering factors such as relevance, audience interest, uniqueness, timeliness, impact, balance, depth, credibility, engagement potential, and ethical considerations. This collection explores various EFL news-editorial topics, focusing on societal norms, digital influence, international cultural exchange programs, academic balance, student leaders' roles, student entrepreneurship, and social bullying. Topics include film reviews, social media impact on students, the importance of cultural exchange programs, balancing academics and mental health, driving campus change through student leadership, the rise of student entrepreneurship, and uncovering the hidden effects of social bullying. When designing interview questions for EFL newsroom content, consider relevance to the topic, open-ended nature, and a focus on detailed, descriptive responses rather than simple yes/no answers. By considering these factors, editors can select engaging EFL news topics that resonate with their audience and contribute to an informative, thought-provoking publication.
