Today (Saturday) was lesson four of Media Writing Skills at UCSI University first semester in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It was an important class because students were taught the fundamental structure of a news story as used in major outlets in the world such as Bloomberg, Reuters and Wall Street Journal.
During the class, I asked the students to identify the main function of one of the key layers in a standard news article. They struggled for a long time, coming close on many occasions. However, it was Fajjar who came up with the correct answer.
For this, he received a bar of Cadbury's Fruit & Nut chocolate, which I insist is the best chocolate in the world. That's me on the left and Fajjar on the right.
Next week, the students will watch the move, The Paper, after which they will be asked to write a news article based on the events of the movie using the system they learned today.
