Walking a life

The journalism is a complex profession, but I think that this is good because it makes the career has different areas and that the journalist can choose what they want to do. Inside this types, there is one in which I’m interest: the literary journalism. Since I have memory I love to read. In my room I have a library with poems, sciences fiction novels, mystery and stories of all kind. However, when I started to study journalism I stop reading those books because I didn’t have much free time - I still don’t -. Then I realize that I want to combine my love for literature and the journalism career, so the literary journalism is an excellent alternative for my future and my profession.

When I started to study journalism, I didn’t expected anything, I didn’t dream with the power of this job like others of my partners. I was insecure, even a little disappointed. Maybe of the type of journalist that is more common to see on the television and heard on the radio, professionals who have lied, manipulated and  ignored the reality.
