Changes to my study programme

When I think about my study programme in journalism, I believe that the journalism school is one of the most important in the country because of its social focus.  Not all universities have this vision of the career, but often have a more commercial approach. I think that in the study programme you not only learn about journalism, but about sociology, cultural studies, audiovisual productions, and many more. So, even if some things can change to get better, i am still happy with what I am learning in the Communication and Imagen Institute. I think that in terms of infrastructure and use of technology, it is the wakness point of ICEI. We clearly needs more economic resouerces in order to supply  the necessary implements for the development of the best possible way in each branch. We need more cameras and sound equipment, and more rooms in the telesision studio, the radio studio, so we can record everything we need at time and not having to wait hours and hours. That sould be the main

My summer plans

I just can't wait for summer to start. It's definitely my favourite time of the year and  I have been thinking about many trips and destinations, but the only concrete plan I have is to visit Valle del Elqui with my boyfriend. I have never been there before and many friends have told me fantastic experiences about this place. I intend to make that trip in December, so I can continue traveling in january and february and make the most of my vacation.  The second destination we have in mind (for the beginning of january, right after new year) is to get to Chiloé backpacking. The truth is that last year we got there in the same way, but we did not have the time we wanted to explore some communes like Ancud, Quinchao, Quellón, Quemchi, etc. and get to share with the people . This time we are more organized with travel times, so I really hope everything goes well. A really close friend of mine was there like a couple of months ago with a Huilliche community. They

Back to the past

I don't know if I would like to go to the future because it could be revealing. It scares me thinking about how the future it could be. I do not like to think about the idea that nature or animals will disappear. There are already species that have disappeared and many are in danger. If things continue that way it would be worse, I think for this reason I would not like to go to the future. I would not like to do it in personal terms, for example, to see what my life would be like. I prefer to go discovering it on my own, as long as I grow up. If i could go back to the past I think I wouldn't change anything about my life. I think that both good and bad experiencies were important to learn how life works, and I'm fine now so I think I'd just leave it. Maybe, I would tell myself to be more confident and speak more, because I was very shy. If I had a travel machine I would like to go back to my childhood. I know that it may sound boring because there are so many even

Post graduate studies

I postgraduate course that i'm considering on taking in the future is languages. I would really like to take this course becuase, as a journalist, it opens a lot of possibilities for you.  I've always dreamed about making investigative documentaries, travel around the country, get to know different places, people and realities. I think that is a experiencie that enriches you. And if I can travel not only my country but other continents too, it would be amazing. But before the trip starts, I would like to study here because, seeing it from a very realistic perspective, it's closer to my possibilities. If I can study in other country it would be fanstastic, but I think it would only be possible with a scholarship, so i'm gonna investigate about that. I woul like to do a part-time course, to be 100% involved with what I am doing and be able to learn as fast as posible.  Right now i'm taking a CFG (a general training course) here at the university. "Eusk

My future job

A job that I would like to have in the communication field is to work making audiovisual productions . I would love to make investigative documentaries,  with significance as well as social outreach. I imagine it is a difficult job, but it is still entertaining. It's hard because in the process of making a documentary you need to be 100% committed. Also, you need to work as a team. If you are a sound engineer, director of photography, director, producer or journalist, you need to complement each other so that the result is as expected. I don't really like indoor jobs,   I prefer moving from one place to another interacting with more people than just the same group every single day. M aking audiovisual productions gives you the possibility to travel a lot, to know different places and people, besides knowing different realities. About the salary, I would love to have more economic stability and of course having a job that allows me to keep studying.  I think tha

My favorite Book

Honestly, I don't have a favourite author. I think I've read so many books in my life of different genres, and it's really hard to choose just one, so I'm gonna talk about a genre that I love: books of investigative journalism. The trigoly "La danza de los cuervos", "El despertar de los cuervos", and "A la sombra de los cuervos", of Javier Rebolledo it is one of my favorite. Books that address violations of human rights during the dictatorship in Chile. I think these books are important because they are informative for all of us, as well as revealing the complicity of civilians with the dictatorship, pointing directly to two of the most powerful groups. The last book I read is "Incendio en la torre 5: Las 81 muertes que gendarmería quiere olvidar". This is another investigation of Tania Tamayo, an important journalist and teacher of the journalism school. I would totally recommend this book because it is an investigatio

My favorite movie

Imagen
I'm not sure if I have a favorite movie, but if I have to choose, one that comes to my mind and that I really love is "Leon: The Professional".   I love this story because of one of the protagonists: Mathilda and how brave she is. Once her family and her little brother are killed by Stan, a corrupt agent, because of a problem that he had with Mathilda's dad (a drug dealer), she takes refuge in Leon's house, a hired murderer. I love their relationship and the chemistry they had. They make a pact: she will take care of the housework and teach him to read; and Leon, will teach her to shoot to be able to take revenge of those who killed his baby brother. Because of this movie I'm a big fan of Natalie Portman. The kind of movies that I like to watch are Thriller and Drama. The last movie I saw was Gridiron Gang and I totally recommend it. Its about Sean Porter, a probation officer in the detention camp who oversees inmates at "Kilpatric
