English IV: First blog

Resultado de imagen para periodista
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.
In my first semester I read a book that help me to understand a few things. I love to read all kind of books since I have conscience to do it. I think that passing a page gives the satisfaction that you know something you didn’t know before. I’m losing the point.
So, in that semester I had to read a lot. In the ethics course (which was far of being my favorite one) I read “Sostiene Pereira”. This is a story of a journalist that decide to ignore the dictadura that his country, Portugal, lives. The man thought that is possible to live without a political participation in this job and he do nothing to report the situation. He changed his mind.
The story has a few pages, is not too long. When I read the story, the thoughts of Pereira and how this changed, I understand that is more easy for people to ignore. I really dream with a better life to everyone, but is unfair to live  in the illusion that some medios want to show us and is more unfair to create this illusion.
I started this career without hopes, today I expected to be the honest enough to not cheat anyone.

    I don't think we have to be so pessimistic about those "types of journalists" like you said. I think there must be many professionals with the "best" intentions but who work for people with "bad" intentions.
    Anyway, you are an amazing person and I believe that you will be a great journalist! <3

A person that I admire

Imagen
The person that I admire is Gabriel García Márquez, a colombian journalist that received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982 and created a new narrative gender, named the “magical realism” that it is part of the Latin American Boom. García Márquez was borned in Aracataca, Colombia in 1927 and he died in Mexico City in 2014. He was a journalist, writer and guionist that is known as one of the most important contributors in the Latin American literature. As journalist, the best known work of García Márquez was the publication, in the “Espectador” Daily, of fourteen chronicles that told the story of Luis Alejandro Velasco, a sailor that was in the shipwreck of the A.R.C. Caldas ship. This report inspired his book “ Story of a castaway ”, published in 1970. García Márquez published his most famous book in 1967, “A hundred years of solitude”. This story is the graphic example of the magic realism and my favourite book because it is a different, special and well built stor...

How I see journalism?

Imagen
I always try to believe in the world, in the kindness inside the human being. My brother says that I am to idealist. Maybe it’s true. I like to believe that all the people can do good things. But I have to admit that is hard and I don’t always get this aim. The field that I study, the journalism, is just an example of how people manipulate others for their interestings. In the journalism, especially in the written medias, there are groups of powerful people that decided what to say, transmite and spread in the news. The concentration of information it’s a serious danger and violates the information right that all of us have. The type of journalist that is more common to see on the television and heard on the radio, includes professionals who have lied, manipulated and  ignored the reality. It is a little difficult for me to understand how a person can just pass over the rest for money, power and “prestige”. People like this makes hard to keep hope in the rest. How will I tru...

My blog's experience

Imagen
The experience of having a blog was a little strange for me, I never had one because I always feel that what I think about some situations it is personal and I was not sure of publish this thoughts in a public web site, because I prefer to talk in person with the other people and I feel some much better sharing this way what I think. In this curse, the blogs were a good toil to develop our abilities and helps us to structure our writing in an order. express us in a web site teach us to resume ours ideas and communicate those in a more clear way. I also think that all this blogs were a way of knowing my partners for middle of their publications, their experience and their opinions. I think that writing a blog in a web site contributed to make of the curse a group.    If I have to resume my experience in this blog, I would say that, although I did not feel very comfortable in this activity, it is an interesting way of learn english, it is an innovation and that always he...
