third from inside the interior and
I come to bring the news
journalism is at risk and is in
risk himself for his own
reality by its own identity
journalism is at risk of
self-destruction and first experience
of journalism was in 1994 in river
third was still in the secondary
was finishing the secondary is
seeing what I was going to be and the
possibility of writing this article
an article that talked about the
adolescence of that moment of the
problems of that moment did when
I wrote when I saw it published on the day
that to touch the sky with your hands
it was the super article that finally
had achieved and the first today 20 years
after seeing this article
even my resume first because I
remember that I like to write and I
happened in journalism and second because
it reminds me how to never write
an article and how you can get to
come out something like this
now the question is with this article
the central question was already a journalist
having written this article I already
they could consider a journalist
and is that the answer is very ambiguous is
a yes or a no
a yes so we’ll see to
below and one because I still
I did not consider myself a journalist
because in our country with only
use some of these instruments
one for even once and
we do not consider that person not
he used journalist for the simple fact of
have a medical stethoscope 16
for the simple act of putting on a suit and
tie and enter the courts one has already
lawyer for the simple act of sitting
someone on the couch some friend and
clean up the follies mate through a
psychologist
the answer is not for the simple fact
to use some of these devices
considered a journalist
unfortunately yes by
what because our country
according to the journalist’s statute
professional according to a law makes more
of 70 years 70 years of 1944 to be
Journalist only needs 24
annual collaborations and for the 24
collaborations that are made during a
year and get paid for that does not say of
suitability training requirements
background and for worse still if you
wants to have an enrollment of
journalist
something that not many of us have why
process is quite cumbersome for
have the registration
it takes two years of paid work
working for two years and getting paid for
I am already a journalist
this situation is quite paradoxical
because it is one of the
professions with greater power within the
society
some say the fourth power to me
like to say that journalism is today the
first power
the question then anyone can
be a journalist or anyone can be
considered a journalist and at this point
it leaves a challenge the challenge the
next each of you grab your
cell phone a simple instrument
transmit this event account teach
the people to the interview the
organizers
go and come to give a summary go up
the posts and has not closed that at
end of the day
come somebody some journalist tell you
colleagues and even hire them to
job
then anybody today can be
considered journalism in our country
and unfortunately the answer is yes
duties to economists to lawyers
engineers up doctors those whose
profession is very difficult to enter and without
But in journalism it has a
host asked for this talk but
it can not be that there is a good journalist
without being a journalist he reiterated he can not
be that there is a good communicator without
be a journalist and answer to another
question can there be a good engineer
that we engineer can have a good
architect who is not an architect and is
that the central problem of our country
of this profession is that it is not
collegiate there is no journalist school
and that means that there is no regulation
but there are no conditions for
can enter
then internally journalism
is raising the germ of his
self destruction
because it seems that everything that appears in
the means when we say means
we include internet social networks and
the rest
today it seems that everything that appears is
journalism from a minimal situation
up a report
everything seems that the journalism that is the
journalism then there are hundreds of
interpretations of discussions of
bibliography about it but to
we think
and I particularly think of myself
experience in journalism is for
define it very briefly journalism of
investigation
if not it is not journalism and I do not say
just me
pedro figueroa from inside the
inside doing a program of
TV
what a journalism teacher said and
also from writing like gabriel
marquez
he said journalists should have
attitude and vocation is undoubtedly if one
do not see and do not want to be
is going to be a bad journalist too
I said that you have to have a conscience
ethics you always have 100
and insisted permanently and by
last he said that journalism
investigative by definition can not
have journalism that is not
investigation convinced of all this
and trying to honor what I just
say from inside the interior
from a city in a province of
country for three years
we try to do journalism
investigation
the program is called right and reverse and
arises from the invitation of
guillermo local producer library that
gave me everything served the name of
scenography
the only thing he asked me to fill us
of content neither more nor less
and from there we started the two with
this patriada we like to say sometimes
because it is quite difficult to propose a
research product from the
inside we do
we investigate and in that investigate
we look for data reports
We seek to seek, we seek to confront
we seek not to be the protagonists
us of the news
we think humbly but
convinced that an unpublished product
in the area in the city and maybe in the
inside the country
we seek to do journalism
research based on convictions
from certainties that we have but it is
Do weights are not exclusive
we have the absolute truth we are the
owners of the truth never we
we wrong on the contrary in these three
we have been wrong and very many years
because the other condition of the program
it’s learning
we are constantly learning from
Professionalism and journalism believe
that he already foresaw everything is
contributing to its self-destruction
this one of the investigations that
we did with greater transcendence and
also with more time he sued us
almost three or four months will start
find out and check tell
the exhaustive and concrete and official
that in times of electoral campaigns
municipal campaigns increased up to a
500 percent of social works in
relation to the rest of the students
this is sometimes said to be used
funds for the campaign that we did
prove it and so we did
We believe that we did not do so badly because
in fact it won us a provincial prize
as the second best research
audiovisual in all cordoba but the
investigative journalism is not only
discover these issues
she is like that now she goes out to pinti ghassan
lives in malaysia was in river third to
from an exchange with 18 years in
a secondary
I met her and said I have to
interviewing two months I was looking for
information about malaysia
I do not know about you but for me malaysia
its culture is far away
traditions their beliefs their relationship
with terrorism not what was happening and for
high of all this the interview had
that be the English language because not
he spoke spanish still this to me
it was a research challenge that
gave a lot of fruit especially
know them right and reverse what
we do is journalism and if we talk about
journalism is to ask and listen
I return this idea we should not be the
protagonists of the news and we should not
be the excluding at the time of
spread we differentiate something that brings us
many repercussions and
consequences
we differentiate the opinion of the
advertising information while
I’m talking, I’m selling you a
auto and I’m presenting as
information is not that while I’m
commenting I’m telling you this is the
truth believe me it’s not that while
presents a data he mixed it with the
two other edges we differentiate
explicitly each of these
scopes and said that brings us a risk
because many times
we lose ads or we do not gain data
for trying to differentiate ourselves in concrete
we have never charged for an interview
Well surely some will say that
nobody charges for interview in the
Newspaper
we are then the paladins of the
justice and we solve all the
problems to the people to the two questions
the answer is no we are not lawyers
and judges and prosecutors do not want
discover the absolute truths
all we do is provide data and
On the other hand we solve the problems
from the people
for me, journalism should bring me
data to people to solve their
problems which is quite different
We make formal requests for information
which is also a challenge
inside we are not used to
to give public information all the
information we ask we do and what
I saw that it would be the lobby sitting down to take
the famous coffee with officials for
that give us information but that we
say they did not give us that information
We try to focus on sources
officers and because particularly
because third 50 thousand inhabitants
we all know each other and how we know each other
everybody
sometimes it is difficult to handle these
issues of closeness and before a
exclusive what we do is respect ourselves
has gone from topics that only
we knew about us but we decided
preempt the people for not
play happened to them the exclusive air
is on the side and what we seek
respect of the person
our greatest achievement this point and in a
single word has been this continue
only remain a fact so that
take dimensions or two in reality
compared to Buenos Aires with cities
big as cordoba where they work 20
people in similar programs that
we are 33 we are five producer
general who speaks a cameraman
the minimum and then a makeup artist and
a barber who will try to highlight
to the best possible because he dares to
go out on television but beyond
that the difference is abysmal and it ‘s more
still abysmal if we talk about the
advertising issue a second of
publicity of what is paid advertising
in a channel of the country’s capital this
this advertising is our
annual annual budget as a program
inside the interior
the differences are evident then
what we have to do this point is
transcend advertising go beyond
of the advertising issues how
do what
journalism still did not find it
but if you want to say that advertising
conditions journalism
inevitably condition to journalism
explicit advertising or advertising
implicit explicitly propagated or the
propaganda even all this our
point of view
from my experience it contributes to the
self-destruction of journalism because
It is at risk of losing their own is
say when we talk about journalism from
research is not exclusive to the
great media and journalists
media should be part of all
the profession should be part of the
professional routine in the big thing and in what
small in the everyday and in reception
exceptional there is an abuse of
tremendous adjective video I did not leave
to see it spectacular extra news and
click to find what you’re going to
solve your life there is an adjective
constant
social networks help us in that
but we should go back to the rigor
of language
yes spectacular that is really
spectacular and the questions that we
we do as journalism of
research is what I have what
I have in front there is something beyond
what they are saying I can
find something beyond
and as a second question, what I
I have how I do to show it to
rest ethically and honestly
with these two questions there is a lot to
do in journalism in the interior
of the interior finally doing journalism and
do journalism research is
difficult very difficult and extremely
difficult to the point that one ends
putting their own resources
but it is also possible and
It is fundamentally necessary
all this to avoid the
self destruction
the newspaper three last data or three
latest ideas the objective truth does not
there is journalism conveys my truth
the truth and the only truth does not exist
on behalf of the people we do journalism
journalism many times you will have heard
bunch of media journalists say
we do it on behalf of the people
now I wonder how we do to
know the reality of the needs
of hundreds of billions of
people
and roll the ability to be
representing those with a simple
information
it will not be that we really want
convince people that what I give them
I’m giving like that to what yesterday
interest
and finally there is a phrase from George
orwell writer who says journalism is
everything that someone does not want
publish journalism is all that
someone does not want you to publish everything
others are public relations the
public relations is contributing
to the self-destruction of the newspaper a
final period more than more than a
requested a request is a necessity
everything I just told you in these
minutes everything you just saw not what
believe please do not believe me questions
put it the discussion investigate
find out refute contrast search
More data
journalists we should be reminded to
each moment
that we are not the gods that we are not the
that we have the truth that we are not the
that we have the only truth from the
interior of the interior be to be
journalist and be a journalist
research to save journalism
of his self-destruction
many thanks
[Applause]
