Hello, in this occasion the topic of the post is: the books. The truth is that I confess that I do not like to read books. Most of the time I read books I do it by obligation for me, either at school and university. I prefer to read journalistic articles in the media. For this reason, my favorite book is a journalistic book. It is titled "Los suicidas del fin del mundo" and was written by argentine journalist Leila Guerriero. The story is about a suicide of young people in an argentine town called Las Heras, in the south of the country. There theories are presented as the generalized depression of the youth place or criminal networks that forced them to kill themselves.  They are very interesting chronicles, so I recommend it. Another that I would also like everyone to read is the last one I read. It is a research book by journalist María Olivia Monckeberg. It is titled: "El poder de la UDI". The book reveals the hidden history and networks of power of...

Hi, today I come to talk about one of my favorite activities in life: eat. I really like to eat and also to cook. My favorite dish is lasagna. Some time ago I stopped eating meat, but I discovered that vegetarian lasagna are also very good. Especially that of Italian squash and eggplant. I also like cooking a lot. I know how to cook almost everything and my specialty is lentils. They are very tasty because I add many vegetables. Other foods that I like a lot are pizza and charquicán. I do not have time to cook every day, but I do it whenever I can. My university has a very positive detail about the food. There are many street food vendors as empanadas, salads, chinese food, vegan food, juices, etc. The ICEI casino is also very good. I usually buy my lunch there. The truth is that I have no favorite restaurant, because I do not go out much to eat. I prefer to go to bars.

Hello, today I come to talk about my favorite country in the world and what I would like to visit at some point in my life. That country is Japan. In general, I like everything that has to do with oriental culture such as food, music, animation series and architecture. Two years ago, I was in Taiwan and decided that my next destination would be Japan. And later I would travel to South Korea. On my trip I would go on vacation and hopefully be very extensive lol I would visit the cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Shibuya and Odaiba. This last two because they remind me a lot of the anime Digimon. While there I would like to eat a lot of ramen, cooked in many ways. And obviously I will try all the possible typical foods (like the sushi burger hahaha) I would also like to visit places related to J-Pop and the production of animated series.

On this occasion I want to comment on the most important shortcomings of the curriculum of my career. In the Universidad de Chile, the curriculum of Journalism currently has many problems, in different areas. Although the curriculum was reformed two years ago, it has not been possible to give a complete solution to these failures. Specifically, I value that there are branches related to the theory of communication, since it forms as critical and integral professionals. However, many times these subjects have academic charges even higher than our specialized branches (right mind of journalism). What usually produces the demotivation of students. For example, many times we spend more time doing extensive essays or reading hundreds of pages of academic texts than developing journalistic products. Our career should be more practical and we should have more time to dedicate ourselves to reporting or research in the field. Also, I think there should be a mandatory course on jou...

Hello, this time I will talk about my plans for this summer. I would like to do three things mainly: work on my thesis to get a degree next year, go to Temuco and Argentina to visit my uncles and, above all, rest because I need it too. First, I hope to complete the planning to complete my journalistic project. Throughout the month of January I will be dedicated to conducting interviews, reporting in the field and searching for testimonies for my story. My project is about crimes against the LGBTI population in Chile, so I feel the responsibility to do it in a serious and responsible way. So far I have six interviews and during the month of January I intend to do the twelve that I need. It sounds difficult. Considering that four years ago I have dedicated my summers to work or to do my professional practice, this summer I would like to go on a trip to the south. I intend to travel alone and I hope to find interesting adventures. Since I have family in the places I wan...

Hello, in this time I will talk about what I would like to do when leaving the race. In the beginning, I would like to work for several years in various media. I want to explore my capabilities and discover what work I do best. After having a long work experience, I would like to do a postgraduate degree to complement my knowledge. I have not thought much, but I have some options in mind. In the first place, I would do a diplomate in Digital Journalism at the Universidad Católica, because I believe that the new platforms are the future of journalism. I would like to learn about digital, interactive and data processing tools. Alike, I would like to obtain knowledge on good management of social media, positioning of topics and creation of effective and modern diffusion strategies. I believe that the internet, technologies and journalism they have be very connected. According to what I have researched, this course lasts 5 months and its methodology is face-to-face classes during th...
