This is a protest story.

One of the important skills of covering protest story is multi-tasking. As a on-site reporter, you need to take pictures and videos, and post them on your social account to keep your audience updated the story. At the same time, you need to do the interviews and be aware of the progress of the protest. You also need to keep yourself safe.

A challenge for me is to finish writing up a story in a limited time for immediacy rule, which makes me aware that journalists need to think of their story during the process of reporting, or even before setting our to cover the story.

Since there are a lot of protests going on in this period, a reporter also need to find a "point" in the protest story, which means that a reporter should find its news value.
