If you skimmed too quickly through the Philippine Daily Inquirer today you might have missed this story from page A17:
Troops To Join Media As JournalistsThey will be the real embedded journalists.
At least 30 soldiers from the Philippine Army, Navy and Air Force will soon become members of the mainstream media after they finish a 10-day seminar-workshop set to start next week.
Maj. Gamal Hayudini, chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines' Civil Relations Service in Western Mindanao, said the soldiers will be trained on "actual radio and television reporting and they will do coverage regularly like the other mainstream media."
Hayudini said the move was an idea of former intelligence chief Victor Corpus. He said initial coordination had been made between officials of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) and the AFP radio station dwDD in Camp Aguinaldo two weeks ago.
After the training, Hayudini said, the soldiers will report directly to radio and television stations, and "do what regular reporters do including following instructions from the station managers."
