Journalism

This is my semester two and I taking Diploma in Mass Communication at INTI International College Subang. I'm taking five subjects during this semester two. One of the subject is Introduction to Journalism.

What is Journalism? Journalism is the practice of investigate, report events, issues and trend to the mass audience of print, broadcast and mass media such as newspaper, magazines and books, radio and television stations and networks, blogs and social and also the mobile media. In addition, as a journalist is to provide their readers and audience with accurate, reliable information they needed. Besides that, there are many different jobs in journalism. For instance, news must be involved with researching stories, writing new and features stories, shooting photographs and video, editing stories, checking facts, planning issues, and laying out pages. This is what I knew with Journalism, since my lecturer just taught us all of that.

My lecturer for this subject is Mr. Khairul Irwan. He told all of us to call him as Mr.K. So, I do call him as Mr.K. He used the two hours class for lecture and one hour class for tutorial. I prefer the two hours class the most because during this lecture class, I would not feel any stress while I just needed listen to lecturer and concentrate when our lecturer is teach in front the class. For the one hour class, I feel a little stress because we needed to complete the assignment within this 1 hour. My broken language is English and I very poor with speak and write.

During our first class, Mr.K gave all of us a phase test which contains the grammar. He taught us how to use the correct grammar. I prefer Mr.K be my English teacher when I was in Primary and Secondary school's teacher. If do so, I can sure that my English will be better than now. When Mr.K taught in front of the class, I can understand with the grammar that he taught.

For our second class, we started our lecture. Even though I do not understand some of the information on the slide but I will refer all of it at night before I sleep. Seriously, Journalism made me feel stress all the way because of my broken English. I do not have the confident can answer the question with good English when my final exam is coming soon. Especially the article given by Mr.K on Tuesday class, I do not know how to complete the question and it is my first assignment and it contains marks.

This subject is more with writing and speaking so correct grammar to use in article is very important.  Thus, I promised myself to work hard with this subject even the other subjects are important too.

Last, my expectation for this class is having fun soon and no more stress. I also hope that this subject can pass with a grade B, and I'm satisfy with it.
