Branding, Journalism, and Graphic Design Workshop, INDOSatu.co Journalist as Presenter

When pursuing the world of journalism, especially online media, a journalist must be able to present news that is news so that the public can assess how journalists work through captivating news offerings so that readers continue to enjoy news offerings from the media. This statement was conveyed by Yusuf Maulana Mahfudin, a journalist from INDOSatu.co when filling in journalistic material in the Branding, Journalism, and Graphic Design Workshop held by the Arabic Literature Department Student Association (HMJ) of State University of Malang (UM). Not only that. Yusuf also explained that writing news must still follow the procedures for writing, namely the elements of information, news structure, and even the journalistic code of ethics. “And as journalists, we are also required to be independent and work professionally in carrying out our journalistic duties,” said Yusuf, an alumnus of UM Malang.

In addition, Yusuf also invited students participating in the Workshop to be knowledgeable and keep updated on trending issues. “So, students do not miss information outside the campus,” said Yusuf, an alumnus of UM Malang. Furthermore, Yusuf also explained how to develop an idea to align with the news to be written. As a journalist, you must increase your literacy, be sensitive to the situation, improve relationships or good relations with other people, and quickly catch trending issues so that they can be developed into good news. The development of technology today, he said, is speedy, especially about journalism. You must utilize the various technologies available or take advantage of the positive side of social media to ensure a piece of writing or news is meaningful.

Meanwhile, Deputy Dean III of the Faculty of Letters at UM, Prof. Yusuf Hanafi, S.Ag., M.Fil.I., in his opening remarks, hoped that students could respond to and follow the challenges of today’s digitalized era, especially in the world of journalism itself. “Hopefully, after this training and workshop, students will be able to develop the knowledge obtained,” said Prof. Yusuf Hanafi.
