For me learning English has always been an important aspect of academic formation, since it opens a door to the world. It has never been difficult for me to learn English because when I was little I watched many Disney Channel series where they taught you English through the songs that the characters sang. Little by little I became more interested in the language and as the years passed I just listened to music in English, then I started watching videos in English on YouTube and I realized that I understood almost everything they said, there were only some words I did not understand and I looked for them right at the time. The hard part came when I tried to start writing in English, at that moment I realized that I had learned everything by listening but I had never seen it. So writing the English words is hard for me. On the other hand, this semester has been difficult to focus on the subject because I am in the final stage of the career, so I combine the subjects ...

I think that there are many things to change in our study programme, and the main reason is that the journalism is in constant development, and the fast that the technology changes makes as adapt the way that we present our work constantly.   In our university, Universidad de Chile, the focus of the formation is written journalism, but the truth is that the journals are dying. People has stop reading, the new language of the information is the image. so we need to learn tools that help as to transport the information that we write in a video or an infographic. We don't have much subjects that give as the technic tools and abilities to produce that kind of content, the subject of photography, for example is something really important this days, but the way we learned is so basic that we just know how to take a picture. The point is that we didn't have a guide in the process of give that picture a content. Other aspect that is need to improve is the imple...

I'm a fanatic of music, since i was a kid I considered music as a way really important of expression, the fact that through sounds we can express emotions and make others feel them, is something that is one of a kind. Because of that, is that I admire Alex Anwandter, his music mix two aspects of expression in music.   At one side Alex make really rhythmic songs, so you can feel every beat in your body, the strong of the instruments intensify that feeling even more, so it's nearly impossible to stay sit when you feel that sound live. On the other side, even when Anwandter make pop music his lyrics are full of social issues. this is one of the most knowledge characteristics of his music and the reason why is so popular in the media.      His lyrics tackles themes that affects to the minorities, as discrimination, but also take topics that are universal as love. His last record was released just in november, with a fantastic concert that had as inv...

These days we had seen the worst part of the chilean state, we had seen right through their eyes to the beast we believe killed by the return of democracy.  It seems that we´ve been sleep and we could´t see the horror that the Mapuche people had been living since the came of the spaniards. In the last days the murder of Camilo Catrillanca has put over the table the violence that is been happening in the Araucania. Since that tragic day many people has come out to the streets to demand the removal of the “Comando Jungla” of the conflict zone. It's important that we realize the way is acting the government, this is not a coincidence, this is part of the plan of the government of Sebastián Piñera. As journalist we have the responsibility of show to the people what is happening and also criticize the press coverage that is been biased. Also is important that as citizens demand the end of the conflict, we have to require loud and clear, the democracy and the jus...
