Post 7 (21-11) : Current Issues

Well, I´m going to write about football (as almost always in my blogs). Really I enjoy with football and I want to be a sports journalist, but not only talk about sports themselves, but about the social aspects that exist in the sports, especially in football.

For those who don´t know, this weekend the finale of the Copa Libertadores between Boca Juniors y River Plate was suspended. The problem was that River fans threw stones and injured Boca players, even some players had cuts.

With respect to this problem, I want to say emphatically “no more violence”, no more violence in the stadiums and in the world. What happens with the society? Is not possible for a football match people try to kill the rival team. It sounds crazy!!

Many people have blamed the media because they said that this match was “the world final”, so this name caused that fans were violent. But I think this violence isn´t problem of the media or a problem of the politicians or the police. The problem is our society.

The system in which we are living has fallen in many violent acts. In my opinion facts like the murder of the police to the Mapuche Camilo Catrillanca is just one of the examples of this extreme violence that shows us that this is not just a football issue.

I just expect that the match is played in peace and that no more violence is generated.

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

It is difficult to thing about a postgraduate because I am just in my second year of my career: journalism. But if I had to choose a postgraduate, it would be sports Communicator in football.

I feel that this postgraduate was made for me. I like very much sports and football, and I want to be a sports journalist, but the problem was that in Chile didn´t exist that mention until I found this surprise course that teaches INAF (national football institute).

The postgraduate contains different subjects about communication and specially football and his history. But also there are courses about oral and writing expression and audiovisual communication.

However, there two problems in this postgraduate. First, it is very expensive, so I would have to save much money. The second problem is that it is full-time, therefore my time to work would be limited.

Anyway, I know that if I try hard I can study this postgraduate, although it´s just an option. Still my future is not decided.

My future job

Really, I had never thought about my future job, I only care about my classes and studies at the university. 

Therefore it is difficult to think about a future job but considering that I study journalism and I like the career very much I would like to work in a radio, especially in ADN Radio or in English DNA radio.

I would like to work there because I already worked a week there. In effect, when I was in my last year of high school. In my school they asked me to get a job for a week, well it was really a work practice.

During that week I learnt to edit audios, to write radio scripts and I also went to report with a journalist. I was really fascinated and from that experience I decided to study journalism.

Because I already have the experience, I believe that I would not have problems to work there, besides in the radio subject at the university I learnt much more about radio.

Finally I know that on the radio don´t pay much money and I don´t expect to become a rich person in that job, but I would be a very happy person and that is the most important thing in life.
