Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL), Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian (ABPBH)

Coverage of nationally recognised award shows including Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL) and Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian (ABPBH).

In these large-scale live broadcast environments, I delivered real-time editorial reporting and conducted post-announcement winner interviews. The role demanded fast turnaround publishing, verification accuracy, headline optimisation, and the ability to work within tight newsroom deadlines.

Operating within nationally televised events refined my ability to perform under pressure, manage time-sensitive reporting, and produce structured, publish-ready content in dynamic live settings.

Scope of Work:

• Produced live articles during the events, ensuring fast, accurate, and structured reporting under tight deadlines
• Conducted on-ground interviews with winners and featured personalities immediately after award announcements
• Verified results, quotes, and event details in alignment with newsroom editorial standards
• Collaborated with editorial and digital teams to optimise headline impact and audience engagement
• Translated live broadcast moments into publish-ready content within minutes

What I Learned Covering National Award Shows

Covering large-scale live events such as AJL and ABPBH strengthened both my editorial discipline and on-ground decision-making skills.

Operating Under Live Pressure
Live broadcast environments demand speed without compromising accuracy. I learned to process information quickly, verify results efficiently, and publish structured content within minutes of major announcements.

Precision in Real-Time Reporting
Award results, winner quotes, and performance highlights must be accurate immediately. This experience sharpened my fact-checking reflexes and reinforced the importance of clarity under deadline pressure.

Interviewing in High-Intensity Settings
Post-announcement winner interviews required confidence, quick thinking, and the ability to extract strong, publish-ready soundbites in limited time. I developed sharper questioning techniques and situational awareness in fast-moving environments.

Newsroom Coordination & Workflow Discipline
Live coverage is collaborative. Working closely with editors and digital teams taught me how to align tone, headline strategy, and timing to maximise engagement while maintaining editorial integrity.

Translating Broadcast Moments into Digital Stories
I learned how to convert emotional, high-impact stage moments into structured digital narratives that resonate with online audiences.
