The best part of my job
News reporting is not as easy as it seems despite the fact that most of my colleagues look effortless. We have to collect information, write our scripts, rehearse and collaborate with our colleagues, not once, but thousands of times over the year. It is like doing school projects every six hours. Yet, the arduous work is what makes my job interesting. However, the best part of my job is on-site interviews. Whenever important events or accidents happen, I am assigned with the duty to report them to the public as soon and accurately as possible. The sense of fulfillment of collecting raw information, summarizing it, and presenting as clearly as possible has become my personal goal every day.
The biggest challenge I have ever faced in my job
News reporting can be a lot more dangerous than you think. The biggest challenge I have ever encountered in my career is that I was deployed to the Philippines to keep the audience updated on the 823 Manila Hostage Crisis. Our van stationed about 20 metres away from the coach where a group of Hong Kong tourists were held hostage by a Former Philippine policeman who was armed with guns. A shot was fired, followed by a series of gunshots which forced us to retreat. Suddenly, the car window cracked, and I felt a burning pain behind my ear, and blood started trickling down the back of my neck. I was told later that if the bullet had passed into instead of beside my neck, I would have died.
My School Days
You might have thought that I was a confident speaker even back in my school days, but the truth was, no matter how hard I tried, the best I could manage was to stutter. Even when I was called upon to answer questions in a class, I felt butterflies in my stomach, not to mention speaking in public in front of millions of viewers. However, my English teacher, Miss Chan, saw my potential in me, inviting me to join the campus TV. At first, I was too afraid and only dared to write scripts for our student reporters. With the continuous encouragement from Miss Chan, I finally plucked up courage and started reporting. You know the rest of the story – I have been reporting news ever since.
What does it take to become a good news reporter?
To become a good reporter, it does not only require brilliant language skills and a critical mind. No matter what kinds of news reporters you choose to become, it is of paramount importance to have a kind heart and a right attitude. As a veteran reporter, my sole goal is to pursue truth. Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see the paparazzi using long lens cameras to invade celebrities’ private lives. In order to grasp the attention of the audience, they make up contents which harm other people and ignore the feelings of victims, taking pictures of their bloody faces from car accidents. These are all against journalistic Code of Conduct and something I frown upon. Do remember, if you choose to be a good reporter, conscience is far more important than making a hefty sum of money.
