  "account": "Twenty students from Kolej Profesional Mara Seri Iskandar had the opportunity to explore the inner workings of journalism during a visit to Media Prima Bhd. The Diploma in English Communication students were given a behind-the-scenes look at newsroom and broadcasting operations at Balai Berita, as part of Media Prima's Eduscape initiative.\n\nThe tour, led by News and Current Affairs Production Support and Technical Operations manager Abdul Rahim Daim, included visits to Media Prima Audio, NCA studios, Rev Media Group, and the editorial floors of the New Straits Times, Berita Harian, and Harian Metro. The students took turns anchoring news at the studios, providing a hands-on experience of the work that goes into producing the content seen and heard by audiences.\n\nAdrian Iskandar Ardi Suhairi, 18 from Kuala Terengganu, expressed his newfound appreciation for the effort that goes into broadcasting. \"I found the visit really fun. It was very interactive and interesting. I never knew there was so much thought behind everything, from the radio station to the news anchors,\" he said.\n\nThe visit also ignited a spark of interest in broadcast journalism among some of the participants. Adibah Raihanah Rahman, 19 from Tawau, expressed her fascination with news reading. \"I'm interested in journalism, especially news reading. It feels surreal. I sat on the news anchor's chair and read the teleprompter by myself. I think that's such a beautiful experience and I would like to experience it again,\" she said.\n\nNurul Adawiyah Mohd Amli, 19, shared a similar aspiration. \"I'm interested in becoming a newsreader because I think I have the talent for it,\" she said.",
