Pro, budding journalists converge for AcadeMedia

DAVAO DEL NORTE – Media practitioners and advocates, as well as, student journalists and their teachers/advisers learn the basics of video production and broadcast journalism during the 1st Davao del Norte AcadeMedia 2014.

The event was one of the five highlights of the monthlong Provincial Press Freedom Month Celebration this year. OIC-provincial information officer Sofonias Gabonada Jr. said the activity aims to increase the knowledge of the members of the media and introduce media theories and practices to student writers, while acquainting them with the policies and programs of the provincial government.

The participants were taught the basics of video production and broadcast journalism in three simultaneous workshops, particularly on Documentary on Local Development, Infomercial on Tourism and News Segment on Climate Change.

They gathered again for the plenary in the afternoon to discuss the production of their video workshop output, which will be presented during the press congress on October 28, at the RDR Gym in Mankilam, Tagum City.
