Electonic Media A journalistcan make their notes using a few things they can do, such as: Taking notes in a notebook Showing your identity card or press card Using a camera Using a smartphone Use a headset Note taking is a very important thing in life, one of which is for a journalist. A journalist can make notes that they want to write either for stories that can aim to provide information, data, and insights to listeners. Electronic media such as digital recorders are very popular for journalists. This media or tool is already available in smartphones, laptops, cameras, and computers. Electronic media such as digital recorders have a good function that can allow the interviewer to fully concentrate on the interviewee. GROUP 4 Note-taking and Recording
- 4. Written Media For ajournalist, to use a notebook that wants to be written with the aim of providing information to the media in the news. Then the notebook can be spiral bound from the paper side to the end. It is important to note that the paper must be of good quality. The notebook should also be written with the day, date of each interview. Many things happen during an interview such as listening to answers, checking for consistency, assessing and planning questions and taking notes as well. Therefore, it is a good idea to consider making notes of what to check when the opportunity arises, such as: at the top of the page, write down key points that remain to be checked as they come to mind, and if not continue until the opportunity arises. Then at the end of the interview, the interviewee's answers can be transferred to personal notes to check if they need to be clarified. From the book (Media Skills) written by Sally Adams, there are several methods written in this e-book, namely: a. If there is a profile of an artist, or someone who is famous, then it requires a good quote and has a lot of description to convey. Therefore, recorders and notebooks are good methods for journalists to use when interviewing sources. b. If a journalist wants 200 words for an hour-long story, a good method is to use a telephone and a notebook. c. And, for anecdotal news where you are face-to-face with a source who seems nervous, you can use the memory method where you have memorized and read in the notebook. GROUP 4 Note-taking and Recording
- 5. Longhand Scribble Longhand Scribble:Longhand scribble refers to the practice of quickly writing down information in a freehand manner without using any specific shorthand symbols or abbreviations. Advantages: • Simple and easy to use. • Can be suitable for very slow speakers or interviews conducted in a foreign language with constant translation. • Adequate for capturing simple statistics and short facts. Disadvantages: • Slower compared to shorthand, causing potential delays and difficulties in catching up with the conversation. • May be seen as unimpressive by interviewees and colleagues. • Heavily relies on memory, which can be challenging to accurately recall all the details. • Not ideal for capturing lively quotes and maintaining their essence. • In phone interviews, the speed of longhand scribble can be particularly frustrating.

- 6. Shorthand Shorthand: Shorthand isa system of rapid writing that uses special symbols or abbreviated forms to represent words, phrases, and common expressions. Advantages: • Requires minimal and inexpensive equipment. • Works well in various environments and is not affected by noise or drops. • Immediate access to notes without the need for rewinding or listening back to recordings. • Acceptable in legal contexts if notes are taken during or immediately after the interview. • Can impress interviewees and colleagues, enhancing professionalism and CV. • Significantly faster than longhand, allowing for efficient note-taking. Disadvantages: • Takes time and practice to learn and master. • Minimizes eye contact with the interviewee during note-taking. • May be perceived as old-fashioned by certain interviewees, especially celebrities. • Requires reading back the shorthand notes quickly to ensure accuracy. • Unlike recorded interviews, shorthand notes are not verbatim, potentially missing some details. • Higher chances of errors in both note-taking and transcription.

- 7. Slow, slow, quick,quick, slow There are bound to be times when your note-taking lags. Some journalists advise throwing in a soft ‘filler’ question and just not listening to the answer while catching up. Others repeat back with admiration or amazement the answer or quote they are busy writing down. Yet again, others say: ‘Sorry, you’re going a little fast. Would you hold on a second, please?’ GROUP 4 Reading Back The rule is to read back your notes as soon as possible, certainly within a few hours, while your memory of the interview is still fresh. You’ll be glad you did. Short-term memory fades quickly and another, intervening interview can drive recollection of strange words or speech patterns clean out of your head. Note-taking and Recording
- 8. Memory When youfirst meet someone, before the interview proper has begun, your interviewee may say something eminently quotable. Remember it and write it down as soon as you get your notebook out. Again, at the end of the interview, when you’ve put your notebook away and are just chatting, your interviewee may let slip some valuable information. Don’t hoick your notebook out, but take the first opportunity after leaving to write it down. Note the time, too. GROUP 4 Note-taking and Recording
