MAS naging maingat pa ngayon ang award-winning broadcast na si Atom Araullo sa pagpo-post sa social media at sa mga subject na ginagawan niya ng dokumentaryo.
Alam ng Kapuso TV host-news anchor kung gaano na katindi ang kapangyarihan ngayon ng social media pero naniniwala pa rin siya na marami pa ring kapaki-pakinabang na bagay ang dala ng socmed.
Ani Atom sa isang panayam, “It can be quite vicious. Parang everybody makes mistakes, right? The difference is that some people make mistakes on video and it becomes public.
“Can you imagine, every stupid decision that you made when you were a kid, when you were in college, being broadcast to anyone? I’m sure that all of us have done something ridiculous that we don’t want anyone else to know
“But for many people, you deal with that privately, and that’s how you grow. Parang you realize your mistakes and you become a better person,” paliwanag pa ng binata.
Nakachikahan ng ilang members ng entertainment media si Atom kamakailan sa mediacon ng pinakabagong online newscast na Stand For Truth ng GMA Network na magsisimula na sa April 15.
Makakasama ng binata bilang anchor ng Stand For Truth sina Kapuso resident political analyst Richard Heydarian at Unang Hirit host and social media influencer Joyce Pring.
Dumalo rin sa presscon ng nasabing digital newscast ang 10 bagong reporters ng GMA News and Public Affairs na dumaan sa matin-ding audition at sumailalim sa mobile journalism training.
Kinilala ang 10 batambatang digital news reporters na sina Bhea Jeem Docyogen, Anthony Esguerra, Asmarie Labao, Shai Lagarde, Ardo Miravalles, Darwin Quirino, Manal Sugadol, Larize Lee, Eduard Faraon at Jerald Uy.
Ayon kay Nessa Valdellon, GMA Public Affairs First Vice President ibang-iba ang magiging atake ng Stand For Truth sa pagde-deliver ng news, “Just expect that this will be different from the other GMA newscasts.”
Inamin ni Joyce Pring na inaatake pa rin siya ng kaba sa bago niyang assignment, “We are intimidated, nervous, but at the same time, we are really excited to be exploring new waters. With anything naman, if you want innovation, you need the courage to really try out something new.”
Sey naman ni Richard Heydarian, “Well nakakataba ng puso na kami ‘yung pinili to pull this off. I’m really glad it’s teamwork, all of us including the reporters, each of us bring something into the table and I think hopefully the mosaic of all these talents put together will be enough to not only revolutionize but also bring the future here particularly in the Philippines.”
Ayon naman kay Atom, isang bagong challenge na naman ang haharapin niya sa Stand For Truth, “It’s a big responsibility and I’m also ho-nored to be part of this team that’s putting together hopefully something that is new and groundbreaking.
“We are just the face of the program, but the heart and soul of it are the reporters and also the people behind the scenes. We are composed of very capable senior and amazing journalists. We want to put our heads together to produce something unique and exciting,” aniya pa.
