Broadcasting Journalism Course

I have acquired much knowledge and skills throughout this two and a half months Broadcasting Journalism course ( from 14 April to 13 June 2008) organised by the Tun Razak Broadcasting Institute ( Institut Penyiaran Tun Abdul Razak / IPTAR ).
The course covered almost every aspect of journalism from the 'dry' topics of Journalism laws and regulations to the interesting practical projects which involved every individual participant to be evaluated after completing every project within a given time and scop

Besides the latest state of the art technical radio and television news production, we were also introduced to web journalism (the new media ).

One of the course modules which I really treasured most was the exposure to world affairs when we attended the 5th Asia Media Summit on 25 -28 May 2008 at Nikko Hotel Kuala Lumpur.

I feel honoured to see our names in the souvenier book listed as delegates alongside established media icons throughout the globe, including famous speakers, among them barristers and media moguls throughout the world.

 

In one of our course segments ( creative thinking ) we were asked to draw a sketch about ourselves and the sketches were passed around with us giving comments ( negative or positive comments ). Here is a sketch of myself and the comments written by my coursemates , how they perceived me during that two and half months.

Obviously my focus is on the introduction to web journalism, especially the designing of websites. The wonders of softwares coupled with the effective presentation of lecturers from Lim Kok Wing University makes me become almost obsessed with updating my website. However, as a beginner I am slowly catching up with 'trial and error' files and pictures uploaded and published,only to replenish them again when the links dont work and so on.
