Tinig Pinoy Editor in Chief Joy Miranda is now a correspondent for ABS-CBN’s Balitang Europe – Cyprus News Bureau aired at The Filipino Channel (TFC). As an opening salvo, she covered the recent fire incident last 27th January 2010. The story was broadcasted last 14 February and was also posted at the ABS-CBN online news (http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/pinoy-migration/02/07/10/2-pinoys-die-cyprus-fire) as well as published in national dailies like the Philippine Star (www.Philstar/article.com).Miranda however admitted that broadcast and TV media are quite different from print media simply because any story for broadcast and TV should be supported by video clips / visuals and fresh images. With this, she is training Tinig Pinoy staff member Scarlet Tugbo the basics of photo-journalism. Aside from Scarlet, Ester Beatty as usual is always giving support in anyways she can, helping in the production of news-worthy materials in Cyprus.
