Few days after the start of the semester, we were tasked to assess ourselves of the qualities and skills of a media writer. Looking back at my assessment before, I realized that I lack some qualities and skills that a media writer must possess. But, in comparison to my present assessment, I clearly see my improvements after a few months in DevCom.
Our DEVC11 lab exercises are the primary reason for my improvement in these qualities. Thanks to those, I got more connected to people, I got more curious about my surroundings, and I became more imaginative to mention a few of the changes I developed. I believe being resourceful is the quality I greatly improved because that’s what we’re supposed to do-find all possible ways to overcome challenges and difficulties that arise.
Data, data, data. We need lots of data for our articles. I was able to visit numerous places in gathering the data necessary for my development-oriented news stories. And I was also able to meet and talk to amazing, friendly, and not so friendly people. Gathering data is the skill I improved the most. Along with this, I also became more proficient in the operation of communication tools and devices, developed to organize information and write more clearly and effectively.
A few months later in DEVC11, I got to improve my qualities and skills as a media writer. The academic and practical lessons I learned from this subject will surely be beneficial for me in the future. 🖤
