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

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. Having learned this knowledge I now know that the blog buddy of news writing style rubric is rated as excellent, good, satisfactory, needs improvement, and inadequate. I have developed my knowledge of this material that we must watch some criteria in news writing like headline, lead, tone and voice, language features and vocabulary, quotes, and attribution. For me, the most important aspect was that both news gathering and news writing have some criteria that must pay attention to when writing. This knowledge is important to me in the workplace because it can train the ability to write news where the ability to write according to the structure and how to take the right steps in writing news writing.
