Changes to my study programme

Since I entered university I have thought about it: the Journalism career should be much shorter. Today it lasts five years, but I think it should be three. The two extra years are not justified.

There are many things I would like to change about this. First, I believe that the link with the street is essential to develop in journalism. Knowing how to write is not enough, you must have contact with the communities and that is built in a long time. It may be because of the pandemic and the protests, but my experience in college has lacked this.


Also, I think the curriculum has fallen short and journalism has advanced very fast. We need more courses in digital journalism and Human Rights electives.

Along with this, it is necessary that the Institute of Communication and Image progress to become a faculty, which has more resources and infrastructure. We need bigger classrooms and more green areas on campus.

I believe that the pandemic has opened a great opportunity to improve the use of technology at the University of Chile, such as the implementation of better quality cameras and computers, as well as a better internet connection.

In addition, we have outstanding teachers who are very important journalists, but it is necessary to enhance the pedagogical part of the teachers. Many times they do not manage to transmit their knowledge to the students in the best way because they lack the tools.

    It is interesting to know the way in which the Journalism career works, I did not know several things that you mention.

    I agree, the university needs to update itself with digital issues and also with social media journalism.

    I very much agree with you! I feel like our career has become a bit in the past. We need more knowledge of the technological world and social networks now!

    I fully support the changes you suggest for training. As a student of your same career, I consider that the duration of the degree and the content that we work here is, without a doubt, something to analyze.

Power Rangers raised me up!!!

Imagen
When I was a child, I used to watch a lot of TV everyday, but not different childhood series. Instead of that, I watched always the same two programs: the Power Rangers and Scooby-Doo. I was obsessed with these show. I just wanted to go out of the school to watch it every afternoon. I remember that my mother bought me a different toy every month and one day I completed my collection of Power Rangers' figures. One day, at a costume party, I dressed up like the red one and my cousin like the pink. Also, the theme one of my birthday parties was Scooby and its team. It was so fun!! My birthday cake had the whole squad there. When I grew up, I started to watch other cartoons like Ed, Edd n Eddy, Codename: Kids Next Door, The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. But I didn't see Dragon Ball or Pokémon, because my mom didn't like them and I was kinda sad because all my friends used to watch it. Everytime I have the oportunity to watch one of these shows aga...

My dream job

Imagen
I have always loved music. I am not so good at playing instruments, but I do love the music industry. Since I was little I have been a BIG FAN of multiple artists. And also I am kinda a nerd: I love to learn facts, curiosities and secrets from my favorites artists. What if we put together a nerd and a music fanatic? The result is a music journalist Literally my dream I'd love to become a music journalist in the future. My dream is to travel around the world writing about concerts, festivals, documenting world tours and interviewing pop stars. Since 2018 I have had the honor to write in a chilean music magazine called LaRata.cl. There I have interviewed some big chilean artists like Francisca Valenzuela or Princesa Alba and internationals like Kali Uchis and Jorja Smith. In Chile this kind of journalism is not very well valued or profitable, so I pretend to study some major related to it in other countries that have a big industry, like United States, United Kingdom or Spain. I thin...

Miss you, little Wall

Imagen
When I was like 16 years old, I heard a sound from the garage of my house. After a few minutes looking for it, I saw it: there was a cat between my wall and the neighbours' one. Inmediately, I told my mom, who called the firefighters to rescue it. They cut a piece of the wall to get it out and done! It was a little cat, kinda grey with stripes and a spot on its paw. I adopted it and called "Wall" because of its origin hahah. It was on winter, so I bought a blanket, some food and sanitary sand, and also a little toy. I tried to keep it warm, but it was so reluctant. So, long story short, it just stayed with me for three days and disappeared. I was kinda sad, but then I met it on the streets and someone told me its story: it is the pet of a granny that lives alone, so I think she deserves its company more than what I do. And now every time I see the hole on my wall, I remember my three-day-cat :)
