CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Some changes that could be made to my study programme, career in journalism at the University of Chile, are encouraging to self-management, independence and freedom.

At this university we are taught many important things ; the search for truth , the role of the journalist as an intermediary between different parts of society and the importance of having a critical thought.  However , once we graduated and we enter the working world , we realize that the search for truth is impossible without freedom, especially economic freedom. Journalists do not earn good wages , Chile has an informative duopoly led by entrepreneurs , who fit the truth at their convenience and interests.

The world is not pink , and although the University of Chile is one of the best in the country , lacks a vision that promotes free press and media self-management .

Today, the technology is very important for independent journalists , for those who want to communicate without social , economic or cultural limits their prospects of reality or those events occurring in the country that are not covered and exposed by the traditional press .

For this reason , I consider it very important to strengthen the kinds of digital and multimedia journalism, and add in the school curriculum related to entrepreneurship , running for public funds and / or private.

The workload and length of studies ought to be a maximum of three years, with the possibility to access online classes and free on-site support , except exams.

The use of the technology is very important, it is necessary to have good computers and laptops for student use , intelligent and technology classrooms , and streaming -enabled cameras for online classes with trained technicians to keep these classrooms running.

In general , I believe that the curriculum of journalism is a bit outdated for the context in which we are, but the critical vision, the teachings regarding writing , television and radio are fine, if a little long . Necessary improvements the ways taught general discourse , promote the creation of multimedia texts and promote values ​​such as freedom, individual self and group as journalists.

I like this university, but needs to be improved , in addition to the curriculum , administrative organization , bureaucracy , since every day more difficult the proper functioning of teachers , students and within this enclosure.

I think the University of Chile must adapt in matters of innovation and research in the area of ​​communications , that enhances future journalists capable of promoting the values ​​of this institution.
