Today I felt myself that I failed to be a good reporter in unexpected event but critical.
In the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission's public hearing for the draft of rules for trial radio operation for public service, commercial and community-based purposes and technical standard of radio transmission, it was chaos when some participants walked out of the room and hold the flesh mob in the afternoon. Some of them appeared in Red clothes.
At that time, I was supposed to go and observe the development of critical situation, then put it onto the story, but I try to neglect their action as I was bored about their behavior in the morning. They had yet registered as radio broadcaster with NBTC but they requested as they were protected by law. They also used the most aggressive words against the NBTC who will govern them with fair and free competition under new regulations. More importantly, they had no sense of responsibility to others who attended the hearing with open-minded and wanted to make the new rules better for their future.
With such silly bias, I forgot some thing important once the situation became worse. I paid my attention on the hearing, not the chaos so I miss things.
It was a shame of mine. I was at the heart of the event but I could not pick the story up to be big headline for the editorial. Then I saw the news on the company’s website referring to an NBTC commissioner’s twits.
This proved that I failed to be a good reporter as I could not deliver what the company’s expectation was supposed to be.
Next time, I’ll do my best! Yo!
