My career, The Journalism

Well, you know, I'm studying journalism at University of Chile. My school is the oldest of the country. I'm studying this beacause I always like mass medias and comunication in general. My favorite subject is all about TV, mass media culture and chronicles about topics not told in traditionals newspapers and TV Channels. Since I was seven, eight years old I have watched tv news and from nine, ten years old I have read newspapers (Really, I try, beacause I only read the sections that I like and when I've got free time).

A Journalist should be a complete professional, with all the tools for working in different places, because I don't know where I'm going to work when I finish my career. For example, I like very much TV, but at first I could work on press, radio or Public Relationships. Also, a good journalist ought to be brave, because sources of information are not always available or willing to talk, specially in some controversial situations. And, this is very important, a professional of press must have got personality to clash with a camera or an important minister, president, famous singer, etc.

Professionals in my area contribute to society... Well... They could be Alejandra Matus, her investigations always are controversial with power, Santiago Pavlovic in "Informe Especial", María Olivia Monckeberg with her books, Cristobal Peña with his investigations for CIPER (The Civil Registry's problem and a report about Pinochet's library). These Journalist are valiant and conmmited with society and people.
