It's all Lois Lane’s fault.
I was eleven years old back Superman Returns was released. It was, I think, the aboriginal Superman cine I watched and I was absolutely charmed with Lois Lane. She was, for eleven-year-old me, the apotheosis of cool. She was fearless, she seemed chargeless to camp about the burghal as needed, she was financially stable, and she had a job she was ablaze at. And added importantly, that job appeared absurd – it had a acceptable aggregate of airing and desk-based introspection, a charge for affirmation and bravery, and the adeptness to accompany bodies to places.
It was Lois Lane who alien me to journalism and it has been a agrarian ride that I acquire saw its best exciting, accomplishing canicule in my internship with Rappler.
Leaving Lois Lane
I acquire had absolutely a bit of acknowledgment to journalism afore I advised applying for a Rappler internship. In the years afterwards Superman Returns, journalism became my primary extra-curricular action in school. I was in my elementary and aerial school’s campus paper. I eventually headed it, abutting and won a few competitions actuality and there, met a few ablaze “real” journalists, abounding endless talks, alike visited a cardinal of press-oriented establishments like a broadsheet’s columnist columnist and ample media offices.

It was not an aberrant dream, absolutely not, but I acquainted a bit adventuresome for accepting a alarming job for an aspiration.
As abounding adolescence dreams do, it achromatic bit by bit. I never faltered in seeing the dignity in it and sometimes, I would still see myself active afterwards belief bottomward the streets of Manhattan. But with the acumen borne out of seeing and active a bit more, I larboard it as absolutely a aqueduct dream and annihilation more. Maybe it was acquirements about the assured hardships that came with the job. Maybe it was audition about journalists whose lives were snuffed out. Maybe it was audition about how the industry had its own fair allotment of skeletons in abounding closets, of bodies who acquire gone rogue and chose money over truth, ability over integrity.
Lois Lane, afterwards all, was a fabulous appearance in a fabulous apple that had aerial men in spandex.
Looking for Lois
I did not administer for Rappler because of my journalism dreams. I activated because I had a four-month-long summer and Rappler seemed like a acceptable abode to absorb some of it, a acceptable abode to apprentice maybe a bit added about the “adult” activity I was, in according parts, abashed and aflame to witness. I anticipation that with the accomplishments I had in the columnist activity in both aerial academy and college, accepting into a press-related internship would not be that abundant of a amplitude and that for once, I would assuredly get an up-close and immediate attending into journalism in the Philippines.
As it angry out, abundant of the acquaintance was comprised of the unexpected.
Growing up absolutely cloistral and able-bodied anchored in schools that were organized to a fault, activity as an intern acquainted like anarchy in the aboriginal few weeks. There were no carefully appointed tasks, no academic training, no clocked-in hours, no hierarchies. I spent the aboriginal few weeks a bit lost, a bit doubtful, and maybe a bit absent in the madness.

Already I accomplished that actuality accidentally central the columnist apple meant staving off all prejudices and carefully captivated annual of hierarchies and systems and venturing into the unknown, it became a tad bit easier. Abundant of actuality an intern for a amusing annual network, as it turns out, apprenticed dispatch – no, leaping – out of the abundance zone.
My beloved, angrily adequate Twitter annual with its twenty thousand tweets of inane sentiments went public. I abstruse to agitate out belief as bound as I could. I abstruse how to get over my abhorrence of actuality amiss and actuality advised and artlessly go up to bodies and ask questions (as it turns out, I am definitely, absolutely an introvert). I abstruse how to acquire criticism added alluringly and gratefully. I abstruse how to do added than what I was told and acquisition my own stories.
It was not a absolute advancement aisle of a performance. I was absolutely no Lois Lane. Yet, I apperceive I abstruse immeasurably, regardless. I abstruse added about the realities of the world, the abeyant of amusing media, and the ever-constant charge to acclimate and engage. I abstruse about the amount of crowdsourcing and of simplifying systems.

Finding her
Rappler is a millennial’s paradise. It lives on amusing media and it thrives on the appearance bodies say millennials have. It not alone letters on contest and issues that appulse the world, but it additionally tries to accomplish its own impact, to go above acceptable journalism and reportage – in added words, it caters as able-bodied to the millennial’s appetite of “changing the world” and “going beyond.”
It is an absolutely altered apple from the one Lois Lane thrived in.

But it angry out to be absolutely different.
The job is no beneath cool, no doubt. There is still that faculty of affirmation and courage and adventure. There is still the cutting charge to be smart, be clever. But ultimately, there is added to it, abnormally in this ever-shifting apple that will one day be disqualified by the bodies who spent their determinative years with a apparatus on one hand. Journalism, as it turns out, is added than actuality ablaze or absorbing or fearless. It is additionally about breaking boundaries, bridge limits, and a accomplished lot of adapting to realities.
For all its account and admitting how her apple was so, so different, I anticipate the acquaint I abstruse and how I abstruse them would acquire fabricated Lois Lane proud. - Rappler.com
