My best reporting history

As I am still in the basic cycle of journalism, I have not had many experiences reporting or rather exercising informational reporting. The subject of radio has allowed me to know a little more about the job of collecting, processing and transmitting information on the ground. The informational guidelines that I have attended, corresponded to government issues, so I met some ministers, deputies and other government actors.

Where I have had the possibility to report more deeply, it has been in advanced reporting. Among all the activities we have done for this subject, the work I liked the most was to have to make a journalistic profile about an influential person in society.

I chose Tata Barahona, I had to interview him but he didn't answer my calls. One day a friend of the university, told me that his brother could give me the Tata number. Without hesitation I said yes, on receiving your number I send you a whatsapp and within a few hours he answered me. He was very kind and he said to visit him the next day.

I went to visit him to his workshop of lutheria, located in Serrano street arriving at avenue matta. It was an old house called "mother house", there work many craftsmen of music, among them Tata barahona. Was very kind to me, we talked about his career, the feelings that causes the music in the listener, motivations of life, dreams that we have, among other things.

Was the first job in which I could choose my pattern, it was a great experience. Tata barahona left me a great impression, he is very sensitive and cultured man. I hope to continue to carry out this type of reporting throughout the year.

My favorite subject of the semester

The classes taught by Professor Ossandon are very quiet. The contents are complex, so some sleep and others listen carefully to the monologue that the teacher does. His voice is very calm, it makes the environment relax and his didactic form of teaching captivates the students who were not overcome by the dream.

I find the subject very interesting because the authors treat very sensitive issues of the twentieth century and advance many of the current social phenomena. What is enlightenment ?, mass culture, cultural industries, technical reproducibility, etc. Are some of the contents that analyze modernity, criticizing the whole structure of inequality and tyranny.

He explains that modernity is the result of four processes: "Reformation", "illustration", "French revolution" and "industrial revolution". To analyze that despite having reached the "promise" of enlightenment, where reason and domination over nature are central to the approach, we come to a twentieth century of total destruction, violence, genocide and irrationality.

I like how they unleashed historical facts to make a harsh criticism of the system. Despite being in the same historical context, they were brave. Perhaps because they were protected by the complexity of their writings, independent of that, they had the courage to divulge their works full of cultural wealth, which today should leave the intellectual circles to be read by a wider population.

I recommend "Critical Theory" with the teacher ossadon, surely you will learn a lot.
