Long time ago, it used to be that reporters are considered real if they have carried a notebook and a pen while attending a news conference. If you were not carrying this and you represent your station as a reporter, your company was labeled as lazy. Technology has changed all that and is now allowing reporters to listen and not write ate the same time. The most annoying thing about carrying a paper and a pen is that you are not able to put into record all that has been said and you end up being at a loss. It is not even possible for you to give details on what was said because you do not have proof. The new advanced machine that was launched last week as a recorder of all that ha been said has been a huge relief to most of the reporters. It is known as a dictaphone, and is able to record up to five hours of continuous conversations without going blank. It will even be a good proof in case the reporter is accused of defamation.
