Journalism: Discovering the Difference from Simple Things

Revolving around the topic of creating a difference in journalistic thinking, students shared experiences to gain new perspectives from the most ordinary events, how to create a difference in journalistic reflection even in the simplest details. To be different or to "sink" in the crowd? To be different or to never become a pioneer in the current fiercely competitive context? To be different to create attraction and novelty for the public? To be different to survive? Those were the main messages of the talk. Through solving hypothetical situations, experienced journalists brought students lessons about the importance of creativity, perseverance and curiosity as indispensable qualities of modern journalists.

Students also discussed and shared their thoughts on future career opportunities, questions about journalism, journalism business, the concept of citizen journalism, etc.

Organizing presentations and professional exchanges with experienced journalists is an activity that has been promoted in recent times by the Faculty of Journalism and Communication. These exchanges will help young people approach employers as well as get acquainted with the reality of the profession while still in school.
