I really enjoy this seminar because the speakers are good. I did not expect that I will enjoy this seminar because I'm not into writing. I just listened to them because we will have a quiz about it. I listened to them because I'm interested of what they're saying. I learned a lot of things when it comes to writing.
The first speaker talked about how to write effectively. All the tips she gave us can be use in our future. We should not always forget the question " so what?" why should the readers care? Answering that question will improve your writing skills. She shared to us the Art of Interview.
1. Embrace the silence
2. Do not be afraid to play dumb
3. takes not for more questions
4. Research is a process of gathering data, not the result
5. Start strong
The second speaker discussed the social issues. I'm impressed the way she handle herself in front talking about social issues. She said that why is it that people don't even bother to notice people that needs help people that are in danger. People just want entertainment. Some important topics are not been talked about because we are just focusing on things that are entertaining us. We could have been saving lives if we only knew.
The last speaker talked about the role of the media and advocacy journalism. The media has three roles: to inform, to educate and to entertain. While advocacy journalism, should always look at all the sides of the issue to promote fairness. Corroboration is also important.
I really had fun listening to them and learning so much things. We should not just write we should think what should we write and how to write effectively.
