My Learning strategies

First, I seek the materials related to the topic. Secondly, I read material that relates to the fourteenth material, namely “Writing for Broadcast, Analyzing Radio News, Analyzing Television News” and I try to understand the material by reading carefully and seriously. While studying and reading the material, I listened to my favorite music on YouTube. The reason was because it made me more enthusiastic about learning and not to be sleepy while studying. Therefore, listening to music makes me more excited. Then after I finish reading the material I usually have to repeat it to remember and make sure I understand the material and I will also note the important points of the material. Finally, I finished understanding the material and do assigned tasks.

 

Synopsis

Smith Dianne & MJE. 2010. Introduction to Journalism, state that Even though both broadcast and print journalism share the common goal of informing the public, the methods of going about this task are completely different for each type of medium. Broadcast journalism, both for radio and TV, is quicker paced. Broadcast media are immediate, bringing news from the scene into viewers and listeners’ homes. Television has the added impact of being visual. Viewers can tune into their local news programs at scheduled times or they can tune into any number of 24-hour news programs on cable.  The news is concise and to the point. However, if viewers want complete details, television and radio journalism probably will not deliver. The readers will turn to newspapers, which are not as speedy with the news, but which are more thorough. Since newspapers are, for the most part, published once a day, reporters have a little more time to gather the facts and compile the information into complete story packages. Broadcast journalists have the advantage of being able to update stories as more information becomes available, but most news stories on television are two minutes or less in length, because viewers will not listen any longer than that.

Broadcast media are immediate, bringing news from the scene into viewers and listeners’ homes. Most importantly, I have learned that Television has the added impact of being visual.
