Report on Fieldtrip to Jurnal Bogor
On February 4 2013 grade seven was visiting the Jurnal Bogor newspaper company for their field trip. The fieldtrip was to teach us more about the production of newspaper. Before we did the fieldtrip we had to make questions to interview the person in charge there.
When we arrived there, five students was taken to a room where they will be talking about the newspaper production with the person in charge named, Ircham. The students who are picked were Cika, Balqis, Genesia, Ryuta and Reza. While they were discussing the other students calmly wait outside the room. When the five were done discussing, the teachers, Ibu Yuda and Ibu Hana starts to hand out the flow chart of making newspapers for the students. The students were separated into five groups so the five leaders could discuss with them. The other students should learn something from the leaders. After they discussed, they all went inside a big room. |
There, Pak Ircham talked to the students about the production of newspaper. At first Pak Ircham introduced us to the flow chart the teacher gave us. Then Pak Ircham started to discuss with us about what they do in the factory. First I learned about that writing an article is very hard and we need to be very careful and check it twice if there are mistakes.
An article has to be a real story and cannot be false gossip because we could go to jail. Before we write an article about someone, we need to have the person to know about it. Pak ircham also told us of what the people in the news company are doing as their Job. A journalist is the person who will collect the things to be written as an article. The journalist and other people in the factory have to do their job properly, such as not doing other people’s profession or work. Although there are lots of people who needs to do their job to make the newspaper, Pak Ircham told us more details about the journalist. |
From Pak ircham’s explanation I also learned that if I am a journalist, I should gather all of the information that are needed about the things that are happening to be reported and published in the newspaper. The journalist also have to be responsible for their mistakes and misunderstanding in their article. All in all I learned a lot from Pak Ircham and I think that writing a newspaper is very complicated.

Reflection
The fieldtrip was very interesting because I get to learn the proccess of making a newspaper and how much people and machines does it take to make it. I think their job of writing newspapers are complicated and challenging because making a newspaper requires a lot of imagination and thinking skills and the journalist needs determination to complete their research data. Although I didn't see exsactly what are the machines in the factory but it is for making the newspaper and the machines were so big. I saw how enthusiastic Pak Ircham is while he was talking about the production of Jurnal Bogor and other newpapers. I think newpapers are important because it entertain us by telling us of what's happening in our community.
