POST 10: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hello! This time I will talk about the changes I would like to make in my curriculum. Regarding the subjects in general I think they are well organized and the content is adequate, but I would like some teachers to be more demanding. In the ICEI there are rules, but many teachers do not enforce the rules and that usually generates a climate of irresponsibility. I believe that responsibility is a very important skill that we must develop in our careers because it is fundamental especially in an area with a reduced work field such as journalism. The duration of my career seems appropriate and the academic load does not seem excessive, but adequate. But I think that one problem with the academic load is that teachers do not agree to organize evaluations and for this reason many evaluations often come together. The ICEI buildings I do not like because they have very few spaces to share outside of classes. I think it is essential to create a university community and without spaces to meet i...

POST 10: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Learning English at university has been a good experience because I have been able to practice my spoken English. At school the teachers only taught me to read and write in English, mainly grammar, but not the spoken area. Even so, I think I still need to make a lot of progress in this area. I was in the English III and English IV courses and I think that English III helped me to review things that I had already learned in school and English IV to learn new things. I really liked writing the blogs because the topics that the teacher gave us were entertaining.  I also think that the dynamics of commenting on the blogs of our classmates has been very good because it is very fun to read stories from others. This exercise makes the class very dynamic. The dynamics in which we practice for the oral test have also been entertaining. We have discussed issues of money, savings and cards and interesting conversations have emerged. It was also very good when we all did survey...

POST 8: SUMMER HOLIDAYS

During this summer vacation I will not be able to travel anywhere because I will carry out my professional practice. It could be said that I will actually travel but at the bottom of my career as a journalist, hahaha :(. I am really sad about this situation because I really wanted to travel to Puerto Natales to visit my sister who lives there and who I have not seen since the middle of this year. But hey, there will be time for that trip, maybe in the winter holidays.  Anyway, I will do my practice on Canal 13 Cable and this has me excited. It's a TV channel that I like a lot because of its cultural content. I hope to learn from this experience and be an entertaining summer anyway. In any case, after work I intend to do entertaining things with my friends or my family, even if it is here in Santiago or maybe go to the beaches of the litoral central for the weekend. Another good thing that the practice brings me is that they will pay me a little money so I inte...

POST 7: THEMED / FREE POST 3

Some time ago I was interested in learning about women scientists from the past and in getting to know some of the present. I am interested in this because the natural sciences are an area where there is a lot of machismo and in school when they talked about science they only showed us male references. Hard sciences such as mathematics is one of the areas most often linked to men and it is for this reason that today I will talk about Ada Lovelace , the first woman programmer in history.  Ada was born in 1815 in England and since she was a girl she studied mathematics, driven by her mother. When he grew up he studied at the University of England and met Charles Babbage who designed an analytical machine that worked with the same principles that computers later worked on. Ada collaborated with him and invented the first alogaritmo to be processed. Thus it became the first that created a language for programming.  Ada was not only dedicated to mathem...

POST 6: POST GRADUATE STUDIES

I'm still not really sure of the graduate studies I'd like to pursue because I've been worried about finishing my career. Although I think it's a topic that should start worrying me.  The problem is that I like many areas of journalism and that is why it is difficult for me to decide what I would like to specialize in. But in the last time I have thought about studying Data Journalism.  It is a type of journalism in which large amounts of data are analyzed (Big Data) and statistical methods are used to draw conclusions to create news.  To learn data journalism it is necessary to learn programming, mathematics and statistics.  Although it is a very difficult area, I really like it a lot. Data journalism is a very rigorous journalism and serves to find out things like political corruption or the crisis of the church.  For example in the film Spotlight use this method for journalistic investigation.  In Chile this area is not developed but I ...

POST 5: MY FUTURE JOB

I would like to work as a journalist in a written medium such as a newspaper or a magazine. I would love to write about culture or science, that although it seem very different topics are the things that interest me. The chilean media that interests me are those that are linked to the Copesa company, namely the newspaper La Tercera, the magazine Qué Pasa or the magazine Paula. It really does not bother me to be in an office writing, in fact it's something that I like. Although of course I would like to go out and report to cultural spaces or scientific conferences. Regarding salary, I do not expect to earn a lot of money, since the journalists do not usually earn high salaries. It's something I knew since I started studying this career and it does not really worry me that much. I mean, I do not want to be a millionaire, I just want to have enough money to survive. In addition, journalism really impassions me so my work would make me happy. I would like perhaps to study a speci...

Post 4: Career related topic

When I finished studying at school, I felt very insecure and did not know what to study. My two options were: Cinema and TV or Journalism. I like watching movies, literature, writing and communications in general, so I had a hard time deciding. Finally I decided on Cinema and TV and entered the University of Chile. I studied Cinema for a year and a half and then decided to change to Journalism. When I was studying cinema, I realized that really more than making movies, I liked watching movies and writing about movies. I also realized that my favorite area was documentary film. For these reasons I decided to change to Journalism in the same University of Chile. The career of Journalism I like very much because it covers all my interests. I really like written journalism and also audiovisual journalism. Audiovisual journalism has allowed me to develop my documentary interest. Another area that fascinates me is investigative journalism, reports and chronicles. In general the texts that re...
