Meeting up with press must be efficient for every single second

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is doing well! This is my second blog about my PR Internship and it is about some of the event that I participated in and helped out a little bit. Really just a little bit.

The first event that I am going to talk about is the Orientation Week for 2016 Semester 2. My task in this Orientation Week is to take some photographs of it and do few short interview for media release purposes.

This is my first photography job for the internship and I am so lucky that I had get into photography few years ago so it allow me to do the job easier and faster. My task is basically taking some action shots of the event and also take pictures of people presenting their speeches or games on stage. These are some pictures that i took shown below.

Other than taking photos of the event, I also talked to some of the students to know more about the event and to get some students for interview later on. It is a really great experience for me to approach strangers and talk to them. By doing this, it gave me a better idea on who to interview and what to interview later on.

After talking with few new students, i manage to get few students for interview which include local Malaysian and some international students too. 

During the interview session, I have manage to get the information I needed for the media release as well as getting to know them better. Below are some photos of the students I have interviewed.

Basically that is about it for the Orientation Week program that I have participated in few weeks ago and I think it is a great opportunity for me to learn things from it. 

Stay tuned for the next blog about my internship!!! Thank you for reading :)

Dear Stevenson,

I am glad to hear that you have the opportunity to participate in the Orientation Week. I am sure you have learnt a lot throughout the participation. It is lucky that you have the photography skills, so it is not that hard when you have been assigned this job. Besides, you mentioned that you get to approach to the new students and talked to them. I think this is a good attitude and you should keep it up. As PR Practitioners, we should be more proactive in approaching people. When you approach people, this shows that you have confident.

Great post and wish you all the best in your Internship! :)

Daphney Koh.
