Prueba Multimedia, pregunta 3

3. Reflexione brevemente acerca del valor del tiempo o la palabra en internet y los desafíos que sus diferentes perspectivas representan actualmente para el quehacer periodístico.


En esto punto me gustaría realizar el ejercicio de relacionar ambos conceptos, en orden de verificar su valoración inversamente proporcional en el plano digital. Si lo planteamos desde un punto de vista materialista, podemos advertir que en la web el tiempo es un bien escaso, aun cuando sea una de las plataformas que acapara más tiempo del usuario. La escasez radica en la inmensa competencia de medios que buscan envolver la “atención”, o más bien dicho, el click y el scrolling del usuario.

Por su parte, la palabra -y su conjunto convertido en relato- ha aumentado su cantidad exponencialmente. Así, podemos encontrar textos de diversa extensión y calidad. Asimismo, hoy se enfrenta a una gran variedad de lenguajes alternativos, que suplantan y/o complementan su función, lo que ha permitido una devaluación del texto, el cual pocas veces es sometido a un análisis por parte del usuario, tanto así, que es bastante difícil que sea siquiera leído en su totalidad. Dicho esto, probablemente sea el tiempo, o la falta de él, el peor amigo de la palabra. El tiempo la moldea a su gusto y antojo, la somete a su necesidad y advierte su fragilidad.

Prueba Multimedia, pregunta 2

2- De los diferentes modelos piramidales citados en el texto, ¿cuál cree usted que es más apropiado para narrar en la web las siguientes noticias y por qué? Elija 2 de 3

Tragedia aérea del equipo brasileño de fútbol Chapecoense: Para este caso, según la lectura que tuvieron los medios, y por ende, la que debe significar una homeostasis entre sus necesidades y las de la audiencia, me inclino por El Diamante de las noticias. Mi justificación radica en que la estructura que tuvo esta noticia se adecúa perfectamente a la descrita por el autor.

Su comienzo es una alerta, bastante fuerte, sobre una tragedia. Posteriormente surgieron borradores que buscaban emitir un esquicio sobre el accidente y sus causales. A su vez, emergían relatos extraoficiales, tanto de familiares como de conocedores o antiguos usuarios de la empresa, que buscaban acrecentar el relato. A medida que avanzaban las horas y se tenía una mayor certeza sobre los hechos, era posible aportar un contexto fidedigno del suceso, mientras se enlazaba con anteriores tragedias de carácter similar. Alrededor, circula el juicio moral desde la audiencia, tanto hacia los responsables como hacia acciones del ambiente deportivo. En resumen, lo que aquí se ve implementado es la lógica de la noticia que nunca está terminada, tal como se menciona en el texto.


El segundo caso será la reforma al sistema de pensiones (AFP). La estructura escogida es la pirámide tumbada, pues la complejidad y variedad de aristas que conlleva abordar correctamente esta situación, se adapta al modelo mencionado anteriormente.


“Los datos investigados indican que los criterios usados por los periodistas para ordenar la información no necesariamente eran los mismos que los de los lectores” (Camus: 32). Cabe mencionar que ni los lectores tienen un mismo criterio, el cual es menos consensuado aún frente a un escenario tan complejo y polémico. A mi parecer, lo que prima aquí es la calidad de información puesta a disposición del lector, lo que brinda a éste último una mayor independencia sobre lo que quiere o no saber respecto a esta temática.

Prueba Multimedia, pregunta 1

1. Escoja uno de los "pétalos de la margarita" de Juan Carlos Camus para generar contenidos digitales, y explique sus principales tareas asociadas, ejemplificándolas con aplicaciones encontradas por usted en medios electrónicos nacionales o extranjeros

El advenimiento de la era digital y su incidencia en las formas de comunicar, es sin duda uno de los últimos grandes hitos que intervino al sistema social. Dicho esto, podemos situar a la multimedialidad como uno de los avances más destacados, en pos de lograr un espacio mucho más integral, ayudando así a la mayor comprensión de una diversidad de fenómenos.

No obstante, hoy es la interactividad la que permite a una página web situarse por sobre las demás. Entre las actividades descritas en el libro “tienes cinco segundos” está la interactividad a nivel de contenidos y la de hipertexto. Pétalo de margarita à “interactivar”

English language challenges

When I got to college, the day of the registration, I had no idea that you should do an English test. That same surprise declined in the moment that they told me to be in the second of four levels of the language. Throughout this process, I have improved my tools, not as much as I wish but it has served me.

However, as mentioned above, the courses have not meant the expected learning because I think is very complex to learn a language with that amount of hours a week. No doubt that the work must be complete and you have to put much more dedication from both the student and the teacher.

Blogs seem to me a positive alternative to the learning process, which synergizes and differs over traditional methods and also integrates the use of technology into the curriculum.

One of the things that I most urgently need to improve is the speaking ability. When I’m expressing an idea it emerges immediately a deficiency to make sentences correctly. Anyway, I really want to improve this, my goal is, in the near future to be a master in this language, so I have two options in mind: the first is to take a crash course when I finish college and the second one lies on traveling to a country where the language is spoken, take a course and take advantage of the contacts in the day to accelerate and ensure learning.

Today my connection with English is through series, movies, music and games in English that  I intentionally set up (SAP for example) to be closer to the language and more in touch.

Change to my study program

Regardless of my personal thoughts, I think the subjects that we have are useful for our general and professional training, however, I think we could give more importance to other disciplines that will also affect us tomorrow so we can make good journalism

In first place, I will add subjects that had relation to history, because until now they are only optional. Its content should be focused on history of Chile and its relation to the world history, this relation contributes directly to the idea of ​​contextualizing the contents that we have to work.

Another important topic that could be added is economy. Last semester I had an elective subject of this matter and I understood the importance of this discipline in our work. Politics also are an important discipline that several students of this school like, should not be forgotten that, as the teacher said: politics and the economy are a marriage.

With the current number of subjects that we must pass, it seems to me that is exaggerated that the careers length is 10 semesters, but with the inclusion of the matters mentioned above, perhaps it would be understandable that this period lasts five academic years.

On facilities, initially, we always had problems with the classrooms, as sometimes there was no availability of an optimum location for the number of people who were in the course, however, with the new installation of classrooms this problem was solved. However, the big problem of our Institute is its precariousness of the tools that require the career of Journalism. I mean promptly to audio visual equipment. Cameras, recorders and many other supplies needed for our training are not enough to the number of students, so it becomes very complex to carry out academic work that requires technological devices.

Finally, on methods, it is a fairly complex issue, since the university gives academic freedom for teachers, which has very positive aspects, but ICEI, often leads to very different lines, which end deferring the profile they told you when you enter.

Winter Holidays!

Although winter vacations are shorter than summer ones, they are the ones that I like the most. I´ve always had preferred cold weather over the warm one, I feel that you rest better. For this reason particularly, it´s not weird that my favorite place is the south of Chile, where de weather is of my taste.

So, when I finish my courses, I will go directly to the bus station to buy a ticket to Puerto Montt. In this city lives my aunt and she is always happy to receive me, she loves to cook and to talk about the news of the country, so I will definitively spend time with her.

After being in her place, I will go to Angelmo´s bay to see some seals and eat a delicious salmon ceviche. With my stomach full I walk by the road watching the sea and its waves. This vacations I hope to fulfill a debt with myself, go to see a match of the local soccer team: Deportes Puerto Montt, in the Chinquihue stadium. The times that I’ve been there before, the stadium have been always in reparations, but this time there will be no excuses, the stadium is beautiful because in an area of the stadium there are no seats so you can see the sea and the islands surrounding the place.

Another of my plans is to revisit the kunstman brewery, which is in Valdivia, I’ve been there twice, but its food and beer are worthy of visit every time that is possible.

The strike

Education in Chile its going through a rough patch, but this is not for now only, its been going on for a long time. Truth be told the private education, college education mostly, it came to give options to the youth in order to increase the ratio of choices and access to this education, also brought with itself a huge amount of bad things that hasn´t been fixed until today. The high prices of the careers and the debt that the young ones have to take in order to study, are only the most visible problem, but not the only one, since the quality of the education is other subject open for discussion.
From the communication area, my way to fix this issue, is creating the debates of this kind of topics, so the people starts to think about the education and understand the urgency that this subjects has. I can also help sharing the knowledge that the university shares with my in order to be used by other groups that want to change the actual scenario.
I believe that the strikings are a very effective way to put pressure, as long as this time is used effectively. Whether is making aliances with others groups of students and working organizations and even doing works related to the social changes.
Finally, for me the strike doesn´t mean that the stage of the students y seen undermined , since knowledge isn´t only in the classroom.

Postgraduate studies

I have a lot of interest in getting myself in a post graduate course, however, I haven´t thought deeply which one to take exactly. Between my options, in the journalism and communication area, there are the ones that our institute teaches.

 From the variety that it has, the ones that interest me the most are the ones of political or social communication. Both have a duration of two years, the first one has a profile of knowledge in the political process lived in south America, in order to produce people that do research in this field, besides of studying the extraordinary amounts of information that goes live in different channels.

My goal is to improve my comprehension of the different phenomena that affect our society from the communicational point of view, in order to have incidence in some level in the debates that goes around the day to day changes.

Another possibility is to go forward in the english language, acquire a very good level in order to use it in the work area, if that where the case, I would like to travel out of the country to learn this language from first source, and incorporate it in my daily living.   

My future Job

The first time that came to my mind become a journalist, I dreamed about travel around the world, knowing and enjoying while I was doing my job. Nowdays I’m aware that to accomplish that goal the road is long and hard with lots of sacrifices but I’m decided to achieve it.

usually, at the beginning of the work stage, the work is done in the office, always in the front of the computer writing news of little importance, although there is always the possibility of be a part of some organization and be in charge of the media department which seems to be a lot funnier than doing "copy/paste" from other news pages.

Another aspect that seems important to me when you pick a job is the work environment, I can´t imagine myself spend a big part of my days along with people that aren´t very healthy in a social way.

one of the reasons which I choose this career was because I found in it the possibility of enjoy what I will do in the work related side of my life, so always before making a choice I will consider with who and where I will spend the rest of my days.

In the side of journalism, I would like to learn about the political communication, since it allows me to be an active part of the debates that affect our society.

Finally, I go back to the idea that my ideal job, will be the one that I can travel covering plenty of cultural situations and being able to have a high grade of independence respect to what I communicate.

Activity 17/06

MY BEST PARTY EVER!

The best party that i ever had was on my  15th birthday on 2010. I recall that my parents rented a house of a football club for the party, this was a big deal at that time because we didn´t worry about any mess that could have been.

To the party assisted all of my friends, and I mean all of them, there were friends from highschool, neighbors, friends from childhood, even the ones that didn´t party were there.

I received a lot of gifts of all kind of sorts, from clothes, chocolates, even beer, lots of beer. That night we danced, singed, laughed unlike any other day, I believe that a party like that didn´t happen again, not even in new years, which is known to have legendary parties.

At the party, when the guys singed happy birthday to me, they pick me up and started to swing me up and down while they screamed my years, one by one. This is a tradition here and its known as “malteo”

Bottom line, the thing that make that day the best party ever, was the all kinds of people that were there and the freedom that we had at that time.

Learn english

My relationship with english hasn´t been the best of all, besides link it with a sort of money or social clases. During mi kindergarden and first year of school i was in a private school which teaches us english since very early ages and in a very good level, however, due to money issues my parents couldn´t afford keeping me in that school and i have to change to a public school where they teach english since 5th grade in a very basic level, a downgrade to what i was having. Despite i managed to overpass exceed my classmates by my grades, the knowlegde wasn´t enough and i started to notice that when in my highschool in a sort of private school i found classmates that knew much more than me, in a level that i saw unreachable.

When i started to wonder why they had that knowledge, i found two kind of answers, one was the dedication and base of english that some high level schools gave to it, and the other was they hear music in english or they play videogames that where in that language, so the had a better vocabulary. Despite some of this factor where out of my posibilities, i still feel in dobut with the english, which i consider very important. One of my biggest goals is to speak this language, either for work related requirements or a personal goal.

Holidays in Perú!

In february 2015, after working for two months, I gathered enough money to travel to our neighboring country, Perú. My traveling companions were four friends, we met in high school. The trip began on february 3, when we got on the plane that dropped in Arica.





After crossing the border we rush to arrive on the famous city of Cusco, but on the trip my ears suffered by height. The coca leaf helped a little, but the dizziness did´nt stop until the hostel.











After overcoming these obstacles, we were be able to begin to enjoy. Cusco is a really fascinating city, offers years of culture and knowledge, and on the other hand, the best nights in bars and dance clubs.








In this place not only we met Machu Picchu, but will also other major cities Incas as Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo and Pisac.

Then we drove into the coast to go to a beatiful beach. In Máncora, the water is warm and there are waves perfect to swimming. Natural Juices were the best I´ve tasted. Our trip ended on February 28, in the month that has been undoubtedly the best of my life

Vietnam

When we talk about the Cold War, Vietnam is a name that sounds immediately. However the actually stage isn´t according to this mindset.  I like the history, and Vietnam has plenty of that: in their books, their cities but especially in its people.  A place that have ancient and modern history.

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a country with many natural places, wich is among the twenty countries witth more biodiversity. Moreover, it is a country that belongs to a very different from our own area. I would love to learn more about their religion: Buddhism, culinary and learn about their lifestyle traditions.

Among the tourist attractions are The Cat Bá Island, which boasts beautiful beaches and parks full of amazing flora and fauna, perfect place for trekking and swimming in its calm waters. Another place I hope to know is the Thien Mu in Hué Pagoda, the imperial symbol of ancient city. 

I think I live a couple of years in Vietnam, to be more than just a vacations!
