First

There is a moment that I clearly remember even now. In 2013, when I was sophomore in university I enrolled HUFS journal. Before then, I did not know that our school has a journal. I just applied the organization because my friend in major applied that organization. But it was a turning point in my life. I really satisfied with my career in HUFS journal. There were many chances to realize myself and enhance my writing, view to society and personality.

For the first few months in HUFS journal was very confused. Writing my opinion and covering news was very unfamiliar with me. Meeting interviewee and making some rapport was difficult for the first few times but it was precious moment. I met chief announcer of SBS and for the interview I had to prepare so much. Because the preparation for the interview decide the quality of the meeting. I search for the personal information about the interviewee and the topic of that meeting. By doing so, I can communicate better with the interviewee. Often the interviewee is the most specialist in the topic of the meeting, so it is important to prepare thoroughly to understand and progress smoothly.

Being a vice editor of the journal, I had to face some other difficulties. Our organization is autonomy so we are free from school official and headquarters. Our editorial rights are independent from anybody and we can criticize our school without any interruption. However our organization has a supervise professor. He usually exchange some thoughts, sights and views related to our coverage but cannot suppress his opinion. We respect each other. But last semester, one of our journalist tried to write and cover some topics of chancellor's pledge. We tried some contacts directly to the school office, and supervise professor warned by the school headquarter because he was judged by the school office as if he lost some initiative over us. Maybe, our school headquarter still thinks our autonomy as just a student's club. As being chief editor, I should care about the environment of our school society not just about writing and covering good news.

 

Working in a school journal is a good opportunity and I think it cannot be replaced by any other experience. Later I may occupy in pre-existing presses and the experience in here may be good indicator for my career. The society that I will face after I graduate will even be so harsh. I believe experiences in here will be helpful in those moments.

There is a moment that I clearly remember even now. In 2013, when I was sophomore in university I enrolled HUFS journal. Before then, I did not know that our school has a journal. I just applied the organization because my friend majoring in journalism applied that organization. But it was a turning point in my life. I really satisfied with my career in HUFS journal. There were many chances to realize myself and enhance my writing, view to society and personality.

For the first few months in HUFS journal was very confusing. Writing my opinion and covering news was very unfamiliar to me.

Being a vice editor of the journal in autumn 2013, I had to face some other difficulties. Our organization is autonomous so we are free from school official and headquarters. Our editorial rights are independent from anybody and we can criticize our school without any interruption. However our organization has a supervising professor. He usually exchange some thoughts, sights and views related to our coverage but cannot suppress his opinion. We respect each other. But last semester, one of our writing manager tried to write and cover some topics of chancellor's pledge. We tried getting in touch with the school office, and supervise professor was warned by the school headquarter because he was judged by the school office as if he lost some initiative over us. Maybe, our school headquarter still thinks our autonomous as just a student's club. As being chief editor this year, I should care about the environment of our school society not just about writing and covering good news. I have to prepare for the financial audit and care about human managing. I have to recruit new faces and fire some problematic members. Also week, month, year schedule have to be planned by me. Contacting with publisher and publish our journal in time is also important.

Working in a school journal is a good opportunity and I think it cannot be replaced by any other experience. Later I may occupy in pre-existing presses and the experience in here may be good indicator for my career. The society that I will face after I graduate will even be more harsh. I believe experiences in here will be helpful in those moments.
