Camp Journ'11

It was as a 5day boot camp, March 21-25,2011.Offered to some students at St. Paul, and as one of the lucky ones, I was chosen to become a part of it to attend on the said seminar.

On the first day, we had the chance to learn more on the journalism basics where we made a blog account to encode all of our works and learnings:) it was headed by Ms. SHERBET JAEN KATIGBAK-MANALILI

Day 2 with Ms. MAE LORRAINE RAFOLS,and Mr. GERARD DE SAGUN where we focuses on the news writing, how to write the news which comprises of the news lead and news feature. There were certain assignments given to us and a promised prize as to whoever would be chosen.

For the third day, we just had a continuation on what had happened from the 2nd day, and tackles topics such as the basic editing on our works. Our mentor do make sure to talk to each and one of us to edit our work and to make necessary changes about it.

Day 4, only focuses with Photography with Mr. JOVEL LORENZO, certain techniques to have in mind when it comes to basic photography. It was also pretty much fun when we just only pose in front of the camera and had our pictures taken by Sir Jovel,  the whole day was pretty much fun and it deals more on going around the campus premises..

And as for the 5th day, with Mister JEREMIAH MANALILI where the focus of the seminar was merely on design and layout and illustration, where we tackles more on the magazine or the print media, we were taught how to do simple ideas from creating magazines as to its layouting as well.

The 5days camp boot, was really informative, it was pretty much simple yet it created a huge impact on my part, and at the same time I've also got the chance to create my own blog account, where my thoughts and reflections might help others as well:))

Ever thought of living without the so-called "Journalism"

But first what is journalism? It is a process whereby credible or trained people are trying to report and investigate events to the broad audiences for them to be capable of learning, so without newspapers, magazines, radio, TV, and worst even the INTERNET! It could be very hard for us to be informed as to what is happening around us. And might be the root cause of IGNORANCE. It might be easy for me to justify it by now that I could easily utter “hey, I can live without those mediums!” but if it would really happen in our world, have we ever thought about it?

As for me,  like what I’ve said it could really be hard for all of us. I mean, since the day that we were born we were into those mediums already and were capable of living with them, and if ever one day, all of it would be gone it would be a 360⁰  turn in our world. It would also signify that as if we’ve never been civilized like living in an ancient time. I believe our ancestors really strive for the best to make our life more easier and these mediums were all presented to us for our betterment, to be informed, to be entertained and to be enjoyed.

You see, media is everywhere, computers that helped us with our reports and projects. Twitter and Facebook account to entertain us, television same with the radio, which give us information as to what is occurring in our environment it also gives us the sense of transparency even on our government and other offices that the mass people should be capable of learning too. There are also the print media--the magazines and the newspapers. That gives information as well, we might not be fond of reading it but honestly, it could really be helpful for us.

But you see although journalism are really in the air it still depends on us the mass people of whether to believe to it or not, and to be perceived by it or not.:)
