It hurts.
This line really implies to both senior mass communication students and languages and mass communication faculty. How come? Well, the story is behind on the last accreditation that was held in our college, College of Arts and Sciences.
Neither teachers nor us, students really mean everything we does that in one way or another causes heartaches in each individuals.
Before the accreditation started we are all trembled by the announcement of our teacher that we are to make a newsletter. Even though that it was per group, still we know how hard it is for us to make it. But of course, as mass communication students, well nothing is impossible for us, oh I was just being optimistic, just to convince my self that I, we can do that. Despite of our full-load schedules, still we have to make things possible, it is just a matter of time management.
Accreditation week is really a hectic week for us, simply because of our task; we should release newsletters – gather information (interview persons involved on it, and if feasible, know every details of accreditation) ; write news and feature articles ; validate information ; have it copy read or edited by the professor; then print it and photocopy for release.
As the accreditation goes by, each day becomes harder and harder, there were problems encountered that worsen our work. Being one of the members of first group, I have experience errata; we are the first who released newsletter and also the first to receive comments, suggestions, reactions, and heartaches of course. It seems that no one appreciate it, we work for it together with our teacher, we’ve done our very best to finish it in time and we thought that we had produce a good material but we are wrong. After its release on the second day of the accreditation, readers told us that we commit errors, so all of the newsletters were get back by my co-members to avoid misleading news. But when we see our errors, most of it was grammar lapses giving the fact that we have an editor.
Even the next groups encountered the same problem. Well, it is really hard to do news that you do not have enough information, most of the teachers that time were so busy and they did not even have time to give statements. How can we make a good material if the people that have this do not cooperate enough? We understood their side so they should also understand ours.
First, I think it is not right that the teachers that were assigned to us were not journalism major – as for the editor and the handler. I know that all the teachers have this own unique capabilities but I believe that it is also unfair to Sir RS’ side that he was assigned to this big thing since he was just a new in this field. It hurts him a lot as well us to us to hear such comments that seems really negative. I think we deserved a convincing driving force for us not to stop on this career.
Despite all of that, still, I learned. Now, practicing my career will make me a better journalist someday, a mass communication professional. I will not let this harsh comments bring me to downfall; it will rather served as my strength. A challenge that made me believe that pursuing this course is one of the right decisions I have ever made in my life.
