It\u2019s no surprise, then, that having a phone and laptop on hand\u2014whether for writing stories or live-tweeting plays\u2014is a must.<\/p><p><strong>A Creative\u2019s Lens<\/strong><br \/>In the constantly evolving digital world and the boom of social media, storytelling has expanded beyond text. <strong>Chloe Iba\u00f1ez<\/strong> 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.<\/p><p>On the design side, <strong>Zoie Sabanal<\/strong>, 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\u2019s production line, these are truly essentials in the fast-paced process of delivering news and streamlining efficient communication across all involved sections.<\/p><p><strong>A Manager\u2019s Dashboard<\/strong><br \/>From a managerial point of view, <strong>Lena Argosino<\/strong> and <strong>Licienn Buensalida<\/strong>, 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.<\/p><p>While having the right tools is truly important as a journalist, it goes without saying that the complexity of one\u2019s equipment doesn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-866668a elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"866668a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1098b68 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"1098b68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function() {\r\n    const header = document.querySelector(\"#ast-desktop-header\");\r\n    if (window.scrollY > 20) {\r\n        header.classList.add(\"scrolled\");\r\n    } else {\r\n        header.classList.remove(\"scrolled\");\r\n    }\r\n});\r\n<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/J1D-4sVtdZ0?feature=share Crafted by Skill, Not Complexity Each campus journalist&#8217;s essentials vary from one staffer to another, depending on the section [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":63,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1928","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
