Being a journalist is not a boring job. In fact, this job can provide many different experiences that other fields cannot provide. He is also a sports journalist.
This was revealed by Arief Kurniawan as Editor-in-Chief of BOLA in his speech at the Bola Goes to Campus workshop on Wednesday (7/12) at Multimedia Nusantara University. According to him, many things can be learned and become material for sharing to the wider community.
In this workshop event, there was also a speaker ole National Editor, Andrew Sihombing who shared his experience as a sports journalist. He also gave tips and tricks to become a sports journalist.
Andrew said it’s important for journalists to be able to tell stories both through writing and through photos. “Readers are not happy when presented with long news. Sports journalists should also be able to tell stories through photographs. Often, through these photos alone the reader already understands about the condition of a match, “he said.
It also adds some interesting angles that can be lifted while writing. “It’s not just performance. Maybe this is already widely known to readers. There are several other things that can be raised into an article, namely profiles, interviews, what they say, present statistics or events or everyday off the field,” he said.
Bola Goes to Campus Workshop also presents Fernando Randy (BOLA Photo Editor) who brings topics on Journalistic Photography and Titus S. P. Widiarto (Artistic Editor of BOLA) who provides material related to media design and layout.
