How Can Your Major Make the world a Better Place

Journalism is the job of informing people what they should know and what may be of interest to them. In this sense, journalists have an important duty in society, because they are in charge of going out to find the information and disseminate it in society, on topics such as politics, economy, culture, entertainment, etc.

As a future journalist, ideally, I would like to be able to contribute to freedom and plurality of information, because today this doesn’t exist. But a more realistic idea would be to work in the field of culture. I would like to contribute from that area, because in Chile there is no importance for culture.

I believe that journalism will be beneficial to the world when there is real plurality in the media, because if the media continue to be controlled by the hegemony, there will continue to be a political slant in the information.
