while browsing the fantastic sea of \u200b\u200bthe Internet I came across a story that made me nervous to say the least (and there are only 10 in the morning). In ' article Republic of interns speaking students from the journalism schools that fail to find an internship or an insertion in company. So far nothing unusual. Reset all the schools of journalism in our country to show that internships promised by the editorial staff to schools and then turned loose in words and the students have had to reorganize. entire article is a link to the group of students of journalism that is created on Facebook (you know what a surprise !!!). I clicked and read the speeches written on the board and I are annoyed (very! !!!).
The group is called " school students of journalism who have no rights . Among group information you read these lines " schools so we have selected on merit, through examinations and curricula. In two years we have learned to write a story with all the means of information from a blog on the radio, the television service to the simple paper. Of the approximately 1400 each year exceed the state exam, only 20% come from schools of journalism. It 'so obvious that we do not steal the job to anyone, we are not a threat, but like the others are fighting and we study (two years!) to become professionals. Yet we are considered second-class journalists, without any protection. It 's time to count and assert our rights. Information is a common good and as such should be protected . Meanwhile there is to do a little clarification: Do not select schools in a meritocratic ... always come first to the children of journalists, politicians .... and then if there's room come all others, so do not tell lies about meritocracy that's just part of the schools of journalism, or perhaps only a few (but do not believe it!). In two years you do not learn to write a story ... what do I know I also I have a "simple" three-year degree and a specilist in publishing and journalism. The experience is not in the computer classrooms and laboratories editing audio and video, the experience is running day and night in the rain the snow to interview politicians and write the piece 13 grams of the radio RTL. The experience is co-leading a television sports (at age 21 that I had never been in front of a camera went live every Thursday evening to talk about football) and designing a book study. The experience is writing, talking and photographing everything that can capture your attention. The experience is made in the rubble of the earthquake, including press releases Italia dei Valori, between the management of the site of Limes and a day with young refugees. The experience you sending your resume to all television, radio and newspapers, doing no work experience placement, shaking hands and empty promises. The experience is made while talking with a 'friend and decide to open an online journal. The experience you do when you get your hands dirty, when you spend money for coverage that will never be paid because the industry is in crisis. The experience of studying Arabic because it is the greatest dream is to go to war zones. The experience is part of the Festival of Journalism to work as press officer. The experience you subscribe to a degree with the adjacent praticantanto then discovering that the order has cut the funds and you are a journalist ze series if you want to work you must give other 20 000 € at your school who did not think about two times before torpedoes. The experience you graduate on time, just 23 years and then left with two pieces unnecessary paper in your hand. The experiment was two years ago, writing for a newspaper, taking the card from a publicist. The experience you will find that this card does not ensure even a meager expenses and for the next year I'll do because you do not believe in schools of journalism and the facts will show that you're right. E 'sure that the craft of journalism school students do not steal from anyone, there is no place for us young people in the newsroom, that is the problem. You of journalism schools are not without protection ... us that we were out of the system to be without protection. Your school is your protection at the end you will be entered. Schools journalism go hand in hand with the order of journalists. We instead? What do we do? With the crisis to get an internship in a newsroom is a thing quite impossible. So we must hope that during our internship someone gets sick or some get pregnant ...? Yet we too have struggled 5 years, we have studied to the tune of 60 examinations. And now? When I hear someone say, "Now you graduate, what will you do?" I do not know what to say, I do not know really. Because they are 2 years that I submit my resume and I do not receive response, or contact me for the nth stage. Why at 23 years with 5 years experience on the shoulders still do not have enough for the world of work. Why are we in 2010 and there is a crisis of publishing. Why ... Why ... Why ... The only thing I know is that I love to write and continue to do so ... even without a school and with few prospects for the future.
