covering a press conference day's work

The OSU reporting team was at the Coke Studio Season 2 LaunchWe were trying to not be very star struck!

Capturing the moment!After some pushing and shoving we managed to beat many reporters and camerapersons to it... And we learnt our basic journalistic lessons.. Read along

Lesson 1 – Hearing is believingMake sure your ears are waxed, because you miss a word and you could risk missing a story

Lesson 2 – Look thoughtful... No wait, BE thoughtfulThink on your feet... Assimilate and ask more questions

Lesson 3- Angle out your best shot!Good camera angles are not always good for your back. Get your dose of Yoga everyday for getting that perfect shot

Lesson 4- Ask tough questionsBehind this smile was couched a real toughie – “I DID NOT like COKE Studio last year – how different will it be this year?”

Lesson 5- Keep your team happyTV crews are all about coordination! Look at this well-oiled, well co-ordinated team from CNN-IBN

Lesson 6- It can be lonely out there as well...Getting that best shot can be a lonely endeavour ...

Lesson 7- Stick out from the crowdSame event, gazillion reporters.... Keep thinking about what you can do to stick out... Journalistically, we mean
