Journalism: Discovering the Difference from the Simple

Revolving around the theme of creating a difference in journalistic thinking, the students were shared experiences on how to gain fresh perspectives from the most ordinary events, and how to create a difference in journalistic reporting even in the simplest details. Differentiation or being "lost" in the crowd? Differentiation or never becoming a pioneer in today's fiercely competitive environment? Differentiation to create appeal and novelty for the public? Differentiation to survive? These were the main messages of the talk. Through solving hypothetical situations, experienced journalists provided the students with lessons on the importance of creativity, perseverance, and a thirst for knowledge as indispensable qualities for modern journalists.

Organizing presentations and professional exchanges with experienced journalists is an activity that the Faculty of Journalism and Communication has been promoting recently. These exchanges will help young people connect with recruiters and become familiar with the realities of the profession while still in school.
