It was an exciting first day of internship in NBN for me because I was able to go with a reporter in her business beat. Ms. Melanie Lee and her cameraman, Mr. Barry Yumol, allowed me to go with them in Makati where a press con would be held.
It was not a big press con but I was able to sit with some of the business reporters like Ms. Zen Hernandez. The other plus side is: I was among the first person to know that there might be a sugar shortage if the government doesn't import sugar soon.
This experience also made me realize that if I want to pursue business reporting, a background in economics is a really big help! Whoah. I guess I have to continue my plans in enrolling in macroeconomics next year.
Coming with them in the field is a really great experience. Though, we missed lunch (and I felt really hungry hahaha), it was worth it because I was able to experience firsthand what a reporter does in the field.
Too bad, I was not able to observe how Ms. Melay made her script and edit her report because Ms. Len, our supervisor, asked me to run some errands.
I'm really looking forward for my next coverage!
