Journalistic

Details:

In the first meeting, I got task to collect ads from newspaper or any other sources. Then in the next meeting, my friends and I discussed the ads about what the structure of an ads are. There were two kind of ads that being discussed, common ads and display ads (Ads with picture). After the discussion, the lecturer usually gave task to make an ads based on reality (real condition/in specific condition eg: you’re as a graduate from English Department, what will you “sell” from yourself.) both common and display ads.

The next material was how to make a news. At first we learned how to make a proper titled for a news. Then what the structure of a news are. For opinion and letter to editor basically almost the same with the material you get in the previous semester in writing class (Essay and analytical). We composed an exposition text and discussion text. However, this was not as easy as before. We need to give more elaboration, proves or examples and data especially for opinion. Meanwhile for letter to editor (LTE) is almost the same with opinion. In LTE, our writing can be shorter and simpler. One thing that should be remembered in writing complain letter is at least there are three parts. Background, complaint and recommendation.

For the exams, in the last month of the semester, there would be a project. We had to make bulletin(s) consist of all materials given during the semester. A week one bulletin for one month. It means that we had to make four bulletins.
