Blog 9: Changes to my study program

In the profession of journalism there are several areas in which a journalist could work in. Where i study , the Communication and Image Institute, there are two main lines of study.


In first place, basic training courses teach about communication research understood from the social sciences. On second place, specialized training courses teach us about the purest work of journalism. That is to say, we practice the creation of periodical content for the written press, radio, television and corporations.


Generally, I like the line of study that approaches a communication research understood from the social sciences, but I feel that the university should increase the number of hours devoted to real practice of written journalism. It is essential that journalists could be able to write perfectly. Also i think that the number of classes dedicated to television also have to increase, because it is a necessary to be able to think in images to do a good new. Therefore, I think it would be good to reduce the basic training courses or reduce their studing demand.
 

In one hand I believe that the institute have the necessary tools to be able to work the technical demand of the practice of written journalism. By the other hand, the number of computers, spaces and editing computers are currently very inadequate. Therefore, it is difficult to think about an hours increase in the practice of television journalism if at present the equipment and technic and are deficient and precarious.


Finally, the feminist wave managed to incorporate into our institute new ways of teaching from a gender perspective, which I totally agree. In addition, in the institute there are excellent professors who use different methodologies based on the real journalism.
