Journalism investigation

When I will finish my career I would like to do a postgraduate in journalism investigation in Universidad de Chile. I think that will be like two years after I graduated, because I want to do a working holiday in Canada and other things in that lapse of time.

The journalism investigation is a topic that I like a lot, since I entered to the career. Ciper, I think, is one of the best means in the country; they inspired me to deepen in this topic.

The investigation is one of the essential parts of the journalism and with this postgraduate study I can learn about the management of the sources, delimit the topic of the investigation, the legislation about journalism, the audiovisual realization, etc.

The sources and their management is one of those things that are, I think, complicated of the journalism. I sometimes have troubles with the sources. Sometimes they have a strange schedule for interviews, or they simply don´t answer my calls. With this postgraduate I think I can drive better my relation with the sources. Consider a lot of options for the sources for example. On other way, I think that those things it can be teach in the career, considering the price of this postgraduate.

The enrollment cost $131.250 and the tariff… $1.444.896 ! To pay those big numbers I think I would be an “encalillado” person. The costs of the university.

Astronauts and journalists

In my childhood, when I was between 3 – 7 years old, I stayed a great part of the night seeing the moon. My family said that I will be an astronaut. And I wanted a lot, but the circumstances and the years changes to one a lot, you know.

When I was 14 -15 years old I started to read a lot, and my preferences changed very fast. First I wanted to be a lawyer, in fact, was one of my options in the postulation process of university. But I saw journalism a very attractive career.

When I saw that a lot of my favorites writers were journalists I liked a lot the idea to be one. But the most important factor in my decision was the social impact of journalism. With this career I can know other realities and people that in other instances I couldn’t have done it, and I can help them, maybe not directly, but I can help to make visible their situation.

With journalism, maybe I can´t go to the outer space, but I can travel -and I want very much- a lot in the planet earth.
