Pendedahan

Ada sesuatu yang menarik pada Pendedahan. Ramai meminat berita Radio dan Televisyen begini.

Namun tarikan itu tidak boleh menyebabkan individu didedah terdedah kepada aib disengajakan.

Maka berhati-hati ya.

Pun begitu, pendedahan ialah aspek berita yang diikuti ramai.

Pendedahan boleh tercapai dengan wartawan masa kini melakukan terjahan.

Selain itu, kes berprofil tinggi di Mahkamah.

Serta Sidang Media pihak Polis.

Saya pula tertarik kepada berita baru-baru ini, selidikan yang membuka kepada perlunya siasatan, sebagaimana pendedahan dibuat YB Ahli Parlimen PJ Utara, Tony Pua.

Ini berkaitan, e-Portal myprocurement.com.

Andai disiasat, kos membina suatu bangunan untuk sebuah sekolah umpamanya, ibarat memberikan setiap pelajar seorang sebuah banglo.

Maksudnya, kos pembinaan diandaikan RM 100,000, tetapi dicatatkan dengan angka RM 10,000,000!

Namun, berita minat awam begini, seringkali tidak menarik minat pihak berkuasa untuk menyiasatnya.

Tapi, ini tidak mematahkan semangat wartawan melakukan pendedahan demi pendedahan.

Anda nampak kepentingan aspek Pendedahan ini?

Ganda Propaganda

When we hear the word "ganda", we understand this as "double".

Yet, the word "propaganda" is one most prefer to avoid using.

Nevertheless, this is quite harmless to those who understand it.

Let's view:

Melanie Anne Phillips, posted:

Introduction to Propaganda.
Propaganda, n. 1. any organization or movement working for the propagation of particular ideas, doctrines, practices, etc. 2. the ideas, doctrines, practices, etc. spread in this way. (Webster’s New Twentieth Century Dictionary)

Propaganda: 3. a storyforming/storytelling technique used to impact an audience in specific ways, often employed to instigate deliberation and/or action. (Dramatica)

She continues with:

The Basics of Propaganda.

Propaganda and Symbols.

The Four Levels Of Propaganda.

Shock as Propaganda.

Awareness as Propaganda.

Conditioning as Propaganda.

Misdirection as Propaganda.

After all of the above, she dramatically leaves us with this:

A Word of Warning About Propaganda.

So, what do you think? Yes, in relations to radio and television media in providing daily news doses to us as audience. Then, how do you apply Propaganda properly whence you are in the industry.For example, this photo:

Sibuk Bukan Menyibuk

Cabaran di meja berita radio atau televisyen, ialah hari yang tiada berita untuk disiarkan melainkan yang biasa sahaja.

Contohnya, semua orang yang pergi kerja dari rumah ke pejabat menaiki kereta menerusi jalanraya, selamat.

Cabaran di meja berita radio atau televisyen, selain tersebut di perenggan atas, ialah banyak berita untuk diliputi rakaman supaya diterbit disiarkan.

Andai anda di kedudukan ini, bagaimana mengurusi cabaran ini?

01. Sidang Parlimen berlangsung.

02. Sidang Dewan Negeri Selangor berlangsung.

03. Sidang Mahkamah berlangsung dengan kes berprofil tinggi.

04. P94 Hulu Selangor Pilihanraya berlangsung.

Perlangusngan semuanya serentak!

Maka bagaimana?

Dress Up And Move Up


Well, I do dress in accordance to the occasions.

I can be in my best, or as casual as my youngsters.

However, in our profession there are places where we are to gather information for Radio and Television news, and dress codes are especially a requirement.

I know, like lawyers, doctors, performers, and others too, we have our own identity.

It is all right.

Yet, remember, dress up and move up.

Avoid the day you do not get any information where press conference is, and you are not allowed in along with others, just because you are not properly attired.

Tired?

Yes.

So, remember, attire!

Broadcast News In Series

Often times a broadcast journalist gets a good lead news and done with a news lead.

So, that's it.

No.

There is such a way as in a follow-up and follow through.

We now have an opportunity for a series of news, as in Part I, Part II, and more.

For example, the RM500 Billion lost in the case of Khazanah Nasional Berhad, pointed out by a political leader in the recent Parliament session.

Can this be true?

Well, a broadcast journalist shall find out the truth.

Penentuan Agenda Atau Agenda Perangkap

Demi hormat, masa diambil agak lama bercakap perihal pilihanraya kecil DUN atau Parlimen, khususnya dilangsungkan setelah Wakil Rakyat atau Ahli Parlimen meninggal dunia.

Namun, keinginan kepada kuasa dipeti undi sepertimana amalan demokrasi di Malaysia, jelas belum dikebumikan jenazah dan belum kering tanah di pusara, orang ramai sudah mula bercakap perihal pilihanraya bakal diumumkan.

Semua ini mengingatkan kita kepada Penentuan Agenda atau Agenda Setting, menyentuh mengenai peranan media dalam penentuan aturan perlu kehidupan. Termasuklah pilihanraya.

Please Know Who Is In Your News Team

Assignment Editor!

According to Chris Gabettas:
It's not easy finding the right person to run the assignment desk in a television newsroom. After all, they have to be part reporter, part producer, part community historian and part saint.

More here.
It is like Chris is talking about me. I mean, it is quite different when one is talking about Print Assignment Editor only, or Radio Assignment Editor only. Ditto for Television.

Yet, one who is at a position handling a combination of two media.

Here is a home page for individuals who are an Assignment Editor.

I pray a few of you might as well choose to be in this position later.

Swing

Apa itu?

Swing boleh difahami sebagai hayunan.

Ini, suatu kesenian yang mahal nilai dan harganya dalam Kewartawanan Penyiaran. Menjadi satu pendedahan dalam BRO 538 Radio And Television News.

Dalam impian akademia, terdapat sekatan terhadap Mahasiswawi dalam politik. Penglibatan terhad. Ya, ada baiknya.

Namun, pendedahan subjek politik, dan topik perihal politik terus tidak dipisahkan daripada kefahaman Mahasiswawi.

Ertinya, mengetahui, dalam lingkungan dibenarkan.

Hubungan kita, tidak molek memisahkan Mahasiswawi di kedudukan ideal sebuah Menara Gading, dengan amalan lazim dalam industri.

Dengan yang demikian itu, Swing, diperkenalkan.

InsyaAllah, selanjutnya akan didedahkan perbualan Zubli Zainordin, dengan lahiran MassComm, kini meneruskan timbaan pengalaman Kewartawanan dan Penyiaran, Fauzan Uda Ahmad.

Tunggu...

Broadcast Interviewing Techniques

The experience is awesome!










Your turn...

Some pointers from the expert:

Charlie Meyerson

...has delivered Chicago-area news for a long time -- including more than 10 years at the city's legendary progressive rock station, WXRT-FM 93.1; almost nine years at pioneering "smooth jazz" station WNUA-FM 95.5; and almost 11 years as senior producer and Daywatch columnist at chicagotribune.com.

Now he serves as news director at Chicago's premiere news/talk station, WGN-AM 720.

Meyerson, winner of dozens of journalism awards
-- including a national UPI award for investigative reporting
-- is NOT picking his nose in the photo above.


A Guide to Interview Techniques

Presented -- naturally -- in a question-and-answer format

By Charlie Meyerson
(Adapted from a 1997 presentation to students)

Q. How should I prepare for an interview?

A. Do your homework. Have an idea in advance what you hope to get out of the interview -- although good interviews often reveal things you didn't expect. Be ready to listen for answers that open your eyes to questions you hadn't planned to ask.

More here:

http://home.comcast.net/~cmeyerson/InterviewTechniques.html

Q. How about summarizing your most important points in a bulleted list?

A. I thought you'd never ask.
  • Know your material before you begin.
  • Write out the questions.
  • Record the interview, but take notes, too.
  • Avoid yes/no questions.
  • Save Big Questions for mid-to-late interview.
  • Understand the answers.
  • Call back if you need more information.

    Peranan Wartawan Mendaulatkan Bahasa Melayu

    Apakah sudah perlu Bahasa Melayu ditalqinkan..?

    Pandangan dari Utuhpaloi.xbrain.biz
    Bahasa Melayu sedang nazak. Kanser yang menyerang jisimnya sudah sampai ke tahap empat, tahap dimana sudah tiada lagi harapan untuk sembuh. Bangsa dan tamadun Melayu di Malaysia pun akan pupus, berkubur seperti tamadun Aztech dan Maya.
    Lagi...

    di kaca TV…

    “Actually, I tak begitu setuju, so I buat the best I can and then you taulah apa sudahnya…

    Suara you bagus tapi you punya pitching ‘kurengsikit and also eye contact tak bagus…

    Rasa masakan sedap but then the beef masih kurang lembut

    Lawak dan pengisian you mantop but ada lagi room untuk improve…”

    Setiap saat dan ketika, kita disiksa dengan ungkapan mirip di atas yang di salurkan menerusi ‘alat perosak’ yang sudah menjadi ‘mahaguru’ di ruang tamu - televisyen.

    Social media offer news-gathering tools

    As journalism evolves, re-invents, whichever action verb you’d like, I think we need to pay more attention to how news gathering is changing — or should be changing. Yes, crowdsourcing — when a news organization uses a large group of regular folks to report a story — gets a lot of ink, but I’m not talking about that.

    Semasa saya menuntut di luar negara, khususnya di Amerika Syarikat, segmen Cuaca ini menjadi amat penting diketahui.

    Di Malaysia, ramai tak kisah sangat. Kecuali. Ya, kecuali cuaca yang memungkinkan mudharat. Maka, Cuaca menjadi berita paling penting diketahui ramai.

    Events That Shaped Our World

    Part 1 of 4.

    An ABC News production from 1989, Events that Shaped Our World was a series that focused on "great TV news stories" from the 1960s-1980s. This brief excerpt is from the introduction which gives a very short overview of key world events during those decades. The music and pace of narration are exceptional.

    Crop?

    A friend send me this and I share with you...

    I don’t know if these shots were taken from an actual photojournalism, or were they just used as a theoretical example, but either way consider this a pretty powerful demonstration. See for yourself how our our perception can be easily shaped, and manipulated with by the media. I believe it isn’t necessary to explain this optical illusion. Photos speak for themselves. Imagine you worked for an administration that wants you to show how soldiers have no mercy when it comes to war. You would use the cropped picture on your left in that case. However, if you worked for the other side, and wanted to depict soldiers as human beings, you would crop the right part of the original photo. There you have it! Such powerful example amazes me, but in the same time scares the sh*t out of me. Which makes me think, should we be more skeptic to stories medias bombard us with?

    Media Manipulation Optical Illusion

    News On Air

    Be on air. Here is a view an expert:

    ...

    So what makes a story newsworthy enough to be published or broadcast? The real answer is, it depends on a variety of factors. Generally speaking, news is information that is of broad interest to the intended audience, so what’s big news in Buenos Aires may not be news at all in Baku. Journalists decide what news to cover based on many of the following “news values”:

    Timeliness

    Did something happen recently or did we just learn about it? If so, that could make it newsworthy. The meaning of “recently” varies depending on the medium, of course. For a weekly news magazine, anything that happened since the previous edition the week before may be considered timely. For a 24-hour cable news channel, the timeliest news may be “breaking news,” or something that is happening this very minute and can be covered by a reporter live at the scene.

    Impact

    Are many people affected or just a few? Contamination in the water system that serves your town’s 20,000 people has impact because it affects your audience directly. A report that 10 children were killed from drinking polluted water at a summer camp in a distant city has impact too, because the audience is likely to have a strong emotional response to the story. The fact that a worker cut a utility line is not big news, unless it happens to cause a blackout across the city that lasts for several hours.

    Proximity

    Did something happen close to home, or did it involve people from here? A plane crash in Chad will make headlines in N'Djamena, but it’s unlikely to be front-page news in Chile unless the plane was carrying Chilean passengers.

    Controversy

    Are people in disagreement about this? It’s human nature to be interested in stories that involve conflict, tension, or public debate. People like to take sides, and see whose position will prevail. Conflict doesn’t always entail pitting one person’s views against another. Stories about doctors battling disease or citizens opposing an unjust law also involve conflict.

    Prominence

    Is a well-known person involved? Ordinary activities or mishaps can become news if they involve a prominent person like a prime minister or a film star. That plane crash in Chad would make headlines around the world if one of the passengers were a famous rock musician.

    Currency

    Are people here talking about this? A government meeting about bus safety might not draw much attention, unless it happens to be scheduled soon after a terrible bus accident. An incident at a football match may be in the news for several days because it’s the main topic of conversation in town.

    Oddity

    Is what happened unusual? As the saying goes, “If a dog bites a man, that is not news. But if a man bites a dog, it's news!” The extraordinary and the unexpected appeal to our natural human curiosity.
