Changing the Study Programme

When I entered to university, I must admit that my opinion and concept about the career was completely different to now. In this time, 2014, I imagined the journalism like a person sitting in his desk meanwhile he writes articles for a newspaper. I liked this notion and I wanted this type of professional because I believed that was the best option for someone with interest in humanist science and investigation area. However, in this last five years studying journalism, I found several weaknesses in the way of teaching from university. For example, School of Journalism at Universidad de Chile, its curriculum is not adapted to new times where be a conventional journalist don´t guarantee a good job or working position. Although mass medias always have been seen as a place where get money, the last time, the industry do it that who controlled the big communication companies did not be people near to journalism but businessmen. Today, a journalist also should have skills in ot...

Hedy Lamarr

In this blog going to talk about Hedy Lamarr, an actress and inventor. She was born in Austria, in 1914, but she nationalized as American after her contribution to science and arts. Her life was very attractive for me. She born in a Jewish family and escaped from her first husband, who was a Nazi collaborated. Whit him, she was just four years married (1933- 1937, a time where was difficult be a woman and do this type of things). In 1940 she arrived to EE.UU where her career as actress on Hollywood started. The Lamarr’s talent and beauty highlight too early. But her importance for me was her contribution to telecommunication and development of new technologies. Together American composer George Antheil, invented a radio guidance system using spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology. Their invention helped to EE.UU in World War II because the system could intercept enemy torpedoes when was detected for radiofrequency. Lamarr learned very easily to control this ...

Current Issue: Francisca Díaz's case

Three years ago, Francisca Díaz – a law student from Austral University- reported to Willy Fahrenkrog Podlech – also a lawyer and ex Hualaihué Prosecutor worker- for sexual abuse when both had their first date in Puerto Montt. The case was dismissal in May 2016 because the court didn’t find sufficient proof about the abuse and because, during the investigation, exists several irregular facts, like the denounce was entered as a violation, some member of court was familiars and people close to Fahrenkrog -for the profession of the accused- and polemic testimonies from polices who received to victim for first time. But this didn´t was the only injustices in the development of case because issues and consequences from Francisca still today. After case closure, Fahrenkrog sued to Diaz – in June 2016- for calumnies on the same court where the “irregular facts” happened. Thus, a report for sexual abuse turned in 180 degrades and showed us how the justices in our country ...

Post Graduate Studies

I haven´t found yet a specific postgraduate course where I can to continue my academic studies, but, I always want to do it in France. I know that the best universities with scientific investigation are in USA, however, I like how French have its own way of doing science from a social perspective and less commercial. Unfortunately, in Chile the science and technologies researches are not developed because, in general, this field doesn´t generate interest on people, media and governments. Is fort this reason that, found a good study plan about this area is very difficult in our country. For other hand, I’ve always had interest in culture and architecture French, so, I could enjoy attractions of the country at the same time I study, learn new things and how integrate it to my work like journalism. Because, If I get carry out my plans to future, my principal object would be come back to Chile and help to scientific development diffusion. In that sense, I would like to apply ...

A short experience in the stadium

Just for a photo, that could be the summary of this story.  My experiences in the stadium always have been normal, maybe, because unwittingly I’ve avoided exposing myself to dangerous situation. But this time was different. My story happened two years ago, on April 2016. This afternoon I had gone to see the “classic Chilean” football game between teams Universidad de Chile and Colo Colo. I was whit two friends very fanatics of the Universidad de Chile and, of course, she wore her team ‘s shirt. The game evolved normally (without considerer the typical thing happens in this type of events) but when the game finished, the things turn bad. My friend wants a photo with Franz Schultz, an Universidad de Chile player, and we agreed to your petition -I don´t know why-. We wait for many minutes that he came out from the dressing room and two hours after, my friend could take a photo with Schultz. But nothing can be happy in this story. When we wanted to leave the ...

My future job

I haven’t decided yet what will be my plan for the future. For now, I’ve have two ideas in my mind. One of this, is study a new career completely different to journalism –like physical scientist or programing- and can have new challenges. Why did I chose this areas? Because I remember my school days and how did my marks be in mathematic subjects. I didn’t be an outstanding student but neither had problem with learn new concepts. I loved geometric and statistics, problems quadratics equations. But I always had fear of failure in this area and like I also was good in humanist subject I decided study a career where I could write a lot and do research works. Today, I see to the past and I think that is the correct moment to start again. And in the other side, I’ve thought still studying my actual career but in a specialized area, for example, the big data or scientific journalism. I don’t have problem with my future job will be in an office or freelance because I’m a quiet ...

Protect our information is a right

Unlike other countries, in Chile the protection of our personal data is not guaranteed by State. The actual law was created in 1999 when the internet -and its associated phenomena- didn´t is known to ordinary people life. As result of this, today we don´t have an upgraded law and our information can be used by other persons, private companies or marketing and, the most preoccupant, is that all this happen every day without our consent. But the fully protect in this hyperconnected era is impossible and the responsibility of know what we are giving when we accept the condition to be part of the new technologies stars with us. How many time do you have given your R.U.T. in a shopping center or you have allowed that a “app” can access to your cellphone information? At present, Congress discus a modification to current rule where, among other thing, the motion asks to create a National Agency for the Protection of Personal Data. This organization would be responsible by the ...
