Abstract:
|
The Schools of Journalism and Communication in Latin America have grown dramatically in the past decades. Colombian schools are following that pattern. Despite of the fact that the country’s violence rate towards journalists is one of the highest in the world, actors from armed conflict and criminal violence are only some of the obstacles journalists have to face in their daily work. However, young people continue dreaming about working in the media and anchoring entertainment programs. This research describes the profile of Colombian journalists in four areas: the institutional, the formative, the personal and the obstacles/threats they have to face in the practice of their profession, using qualitative methodology: focus groups with professional reporters and news directors of 5 cities. The results of the research draw a scenario that could be useful for the young men and women who feel the passion to work at what Gabriel García Márquez, a Nobel Prize, has called “the best profession in the world”. |
