RADIO PRACTICUM

Internship at DZXL RMN 558 MANILA

“MEMOIRS”

                                                    (May 17, 2010 to June 19 2010)

           

“Changing a regular lifestyle of waking and sleeping time from 7:00 am at 8:00pm as a result of my chosen internship at RMN DZXL 558…”

May 17, 2010 the first day of my next quest.

The moment of truth, this is the time that my knowledge in this field will be put into practice.

I started being an intern – researcher inside the news room - a place where the news is delivered and created. This position is hard, because it’s a must for me be able to know how to search and find news in a split second using different medium like internet, newspaper, magazine etc. In these circumstances you must know how to rehash the news by angle, either positive or negative. Also in this field, I monitor the news with different radio station.

After a week the management announced that we will have a rotation of duty throughout internship. I was assigned in the public service, the other side of radio program where the majority of listeners are all victims. Voluntary service is what we provide to the people. The program is hosted by Tulfo brother and Larry King titled wanted sa radio, Bantay OFW and Ito ang Batas by attorney Aga Arellano. Everyday the place was full of people seeking helped for their problem like, rape case, human trafficking and Impunity. Back then I realize that to be an intern you must be strong to comfort them, but being a broadcast student you must not be bias and be aware of what is true.

Last but not the list is being with a field reporter (Sir. Michael Rugas). It is very hard to conduct news and that is reality of life that you must be friendly to other reporter in sharing and giving the different news that day.

One week experience at Batasan Pambansa also known as Senate (Congress) and we cover issues regarding the last election 2010. The issue is talk out of the town between Cong. Teddy Boy Locsin vs. Vice President Jejomar Jojo Binay.

Behind the production, Ms. Carol and Ms. Odet the assistants of raffy tulfo are very close in mind. Behind the practicum that I chose, although sharing a knowledge with there experience and guidelines in media industry.
