My Learning Strategies 

Firstly, I seek the materials related the topic. Secondly I read the material slowly and trying to understand them, then write down the important point on my notebook. Finally, I understand the material because reread important notes that I have.

Synopsis 

According to Smith, D. (2010). Background research for Journalists are resources and tools used by journalists tofind out about sources: public records, government and corporate information, data and

statistics. Before composing questions to ask during an interview, it is often necessary to do some background research, either on the topic to be discussed or on the person you are about to interview.

 

Reflection 

    Journalism is the activity of find, report, and distribute some factual news both through print media such as newspapers and magazines as well as online media such as email and websites.For me, the most useful experience was the process of seeking information about journalism. I have developed my understanding about journalism, especially how to make a background research for some news. Having discussed about  background research and investigate reporting, I now realize that there are several rules that we must know and do before we make some news.  This knowledge is essential to me in the workplace because in this science we are not only trained to write factual news but also how we can make readers interested in the news we write. Because basically a teacher is not only required to teach and educate but also from time to time is required to make reports. Because I have not yet confident with my grammar I will now need to learn more about it. Previously, I did not notice about my interest to this subject but now i find that it’s fun enough to learn about journalism especially in the investigate reporting . Alternatively, this might be related to my old dream that i have dreamed to being an anchor.

    This is similar to an old friend who greeted me again after a long time because because I'm finally interested in this field again. Like a wish that finally came true this reveals my stress from doing something I love. Furthermore,  Having read the article about journalism, I now realize that this subject is very interesting.  Most importantly, I have learned that this subject made me learn a lot about new things. I have significantly developed my skills in writing and ability to analyze some article. However, I have not sufficiently improved my ability to make good and true news because it is still in the early stages of learning.This means that i have to learn and practice more. This skill will be essential to me as a learner because in the future, maybe i will be a journalist instead of teacher.  Because I did not to good at grammar I will now need to learn about it. As a next step, I need to find more information and doing more exercise to improve my writing skill.
