Each campus journalist’s essentials vary from one staffer to another, depending on the section they’re in. Writers, creatives, and those in managerial positions have different takes on what their must-haves are— each shaped by their responsibilities and workflows.
A Writer’s Perspective
A Sports writer from The Varsitarian, Lilah Paredes, shares that her UAAP Media ID, phone, and laptop are essential in accomplishing her tasks efficiently as someone who is expected to deliver sports news as soon as the game ends in each UAAP match.
Delivering fast, accurate, and truthful stories requires focus, attention, and convenience. The experience to acquire the needed skills goes hand in hand with the tools at hand. It’s no surprise, then, that having a phone and laptop on hand—whether for writing stories or live-tweeting plays—is a must.
A Creative’s Lens
In the constantly evolving digital world and the boom of social media, storytelling has expanded beyond text. Chloe Ibañez shares that her camera, SD card, and SD card reader are her must-haves as a Photographer from The Varsitarian. Being able to instantly deliver news that requires visual aids to fully encapsulate a story means staying equipped with reliable gear.
On the design side, Zoie Sabanal, a Layout artist from the Benildean Press Corps, on the other hand, states that her laptop, messaging apps, and cloud storage are her primary tools. As someone at the end of the publication’s production line, these are truly essentials in the fast-paced process of delivering news and streamlining efficient communication across all involved sections.
A Manager’s Dashboard
From a managerial point of view, Lena Argosino and Licienn Buensalida, both Managers from BPC, share mostly the same essentials they use: notes app, camera, recording app, and social media. These tools keep them and their teams up to date and aligned. In a managerial position, being able to take note of the current happenings for documentation and filing helps the organization stay stable.
While having the right tools is truly important as a journalist, it goes without saying that the complexity of one’s equipment doesn’t define journalism. Competence is crafted by skill and sharpened by experience that equips you with the things you are set to face as bearers of truth.
