The Media Challenge is organised by the Diploma in Mass Communication faculty at Republic Polytechnic Centre for Enterprise and Communication.
The Media Challenge engages and empowers secondary school students to develop and execute media content that is digitally advanced. Participants will be challenged to come up with the best multi-media news package. Students who are interested to learn how to combine blogging, photography, videography and interviewing skills to create a newsworthy package and are interested to join the media industry as a journalist or a media professional are welcome to join The Media Challenge!
Participants will experience working under tight deadlines, pitting their research, interviewing, writing, photography and videography skills against other fellow participants. The Media Challenge also grants them a real sense of what journalists and other media professionals need to go through each day – a race against time to get their work done!
· What does a journalist have to do to get from a story idea to the final news package?
· How does a journalist conduct interviews, review records to assemble, collect, and report information and explore the implications of the facts?
· How exactly does it feel like working under chronic deadline pressure?
Participants will also have the opportunity to hear and learn from prominent industry experts in the areas of marketing, social media, advertising, journalism, photography and more. In addition, they will attend various workshops conducted by the Republic Polytechnic Diploma in Mass Communication faculty and industry professionals. Over three days, they will also engage in various activities, events and field trips.
For the duration of the challenge, each team will be guided and mentored by a Republic Polytechnic facilitator as they embark on their journalistic journey to put together a feature news package. The teams’ news packages will be judged by industry experts. Attractive prizes will be presented to the best teams!
