Members of the 33rd Civil Military Operations (CMO) Battalion attend the training on news writing in print, radio and TV to equip them with skills in news writing/reporting about the programs for peace and development of the army.* (EBColmo)
Considering that media is one of the effective vehicles in reaching out the target clients and stake holders, one of the major subjects in the on-going month-long CMO training Class 01-2013 attended by 60 non-commissioned officers of the army was the media work particularly news writing/ reporting on broadcast, TV and print media.
The participants are frontliners from the 33rd Civil Military Operations (CMO) Battalion lead by Lt Col Patrick Cinco, with facilitator 1Lt Gie Lim.
Lim said , training their men on media work like news writing and reporting would hasten their jobs in linking with the media and the rest of the stake holders for peace and development.
Resource speakers were bonafide members of the media representing print, broadcast and TV, Yasmin Dormido of ABS-CBN, and this writer for the Bulletin (Negros and Manila).
During the news writing lecture for print media, the participants learned the important elements of news, as well as the rules in taking photo shots for photo support of the event or incident, including captioning of their pictures.
It was a learning by doing approach because the soldiers were given limited time in preparing their report through a workshop.
The 8 squads/groups prepared their respective reports based on the usual events or scenario of their experience, and reported it before the groups. Areas presented by the groups varied from ambush, en-counter, surrender, com-munity outreach like medical mission, brigada eskwela, barangay pulong pulong, and other crimes.
It was observed that the troopers are teachable and are fast learners. Based on their workshop output presentation, they have 99% grasp or retention of the lecture because almost all squads were evaluated excellent.
