My academic future

Take a postgraduate course has always been within my options to do in the future. I would like do a postgraduate or degree in economic journalism or political communication.

The first one, interests me because I do not know much about that topic. As a journalist, the economy is a theme that always is surrounding us and it is part of our job make “this world” incomprehensible to citizens, easier to understand. However, many journalists do not know about economy or they do not give the job of investigate it, so they end up making mistakes when give some important information to the population.

The second topic is an area that I like a lot and I find very interesting. The political world is closely related to the economic sector of a country, so, studying both subjects would be much better for me. I think that it will always be necessary for a healthy society know the relations between politics and businessmen.

I also believe that both topics need have a very local context to be studied, so, I would like take these postgraduate courses within the country, although if there is the possibility of traveling abroad, welcome!

As I have said before, in these postgraduate courses you need talk about the national reality and explain how work this worlds, so it would not be very appropriate for me study at distance or in a no-presential system. I would like to choose a face-to-face study system with classes in the afternoon and a flexible class schedule.


Until now, I know that the University of Chile offers this alternative and the guides that I have read about academic content and teachers I find interesting. But if I have the possibility of going abroad I would like to go to Spain, France, USA or Argentina because they have good journalism schools.

    Both songs sound difficult to learn, actually boring. However, they are issues that we must manage as journalists ... they say that knowing makes us free.

    Both topics for the most of people (or I think so) are so boring, so it is great that you are interested in this. We need more people to know about this things for the same reason that you were saying, to make easier to understand for the population :)
    For me, these themes are difficult and interesting but they are definitely not my favorites, hahaha, I would not take that kind of courses.

Journalism today

Hello, I am again writing about my future and the exercise of journalism. This thematic already seems me exhausting and boring. I do not know what I want to do the following week, much less I know what I want to my "future work", but well, work is work. I believe that journalism in our country is a highly precarious field of work where there is no just relation between the work that the journalist does and the money that he earn. Many times, a journalist must do the work of a cameraman, reporter, editor and Community Manager, for reduce the workforce in a mass media. The work schedules of a journalist are also very abusive. Since I entered to study Journalism, I heard teachers and graduates talk about "a journalist never has a fixed work schedule." At first time, that idea of ​​be at the service of the news may seem interesting, but then it is not reflected in the salary received. Yes, there are many journalists in Chile and universities every year incr...

My dream Job

  I have always dreamed work in a mass media where the working hours is very flexible. I know that this "dream" is a bit difficult to fulfill but one of the advantages that offer the Journalism is the possibility of create your own mass media without the need to have a big capital. I have never liked to stay in the same place, I am getting bored easily and I end up losing interest in what I am doing. I also do not like the idea of ​​work all day in front of a desk where I just should the follow orders from a superior. That is why I think I do not have a “dream job” totally defined in my head, but I do the work that allows me to do - and finance - all the other things that I will plan do in the future. I would like to create a mass media online with people close to me where I can have the freedom to do other things in parallel to that work. This means that I would like be part of a work team that knows how work when a member fails or cannot make its role within th...
