I wrote and edited news stories for The Star newspaper under the national news section, MetroPerak section, and Star Online news portal. My day-to-day tasks included evaluating and keeping tabs with news leads to develop story ideas, recording news footage to create videos for Star Media Group's TV platform StarTV.com, and shooting photos to accompany news stories publication (when needed). I also arranged and conducted interviews with individuals knowledgeable about each story's subject matter, and followed through on beat sources to gather information for stories.
