I refuse to die.
Last year I read and hear the urgency in different forums that we should journalists use social networks because otherwise die. I'm afraid to die so young and with so many things to do and want to do them, I prefer to find a kind of fountain of youth. Everything indicates that joining social networks and start a blog is a way to continue living as a reporter, though I would add that it takes passion and many to continue in this vocation.
The thorn to open a blog was a long time. Sometimes you know you have to do something and not doing it for laziness or backlog, but there comes a moment and this is the day. This is the first entry on a blog that aims to be an inclusive view of information.
Here I want to tell more directly what I do, what I write and investigate. This is a blog to know what you think about the issues that board, what worries you, what do you suggest or think those points should be included in the investigations conducted.
With that of the specialists and analysts say if a journalist does not use social networks is sentenced to death slowly, I decided to fully integrate technology reportorial exercise. The first example occurred when I interviewed me via Facebook to patent Conrad Sayleri, a Haitian who lives in Guadalajara, her brother sent a letter through the Red Cross to say he had survived the earthquake. Conrad tried to find different ways to interview, I called his cell phone and searched but it was impossible. It occurred to me to type his name on Facebook and after they accepted my friendship, I interviewed him in the caralibro via chat.
The second time I used the social networks as a tool to report, I noticed that a friend had joined the group "I do respect pedestrians and special people" decided to click and here the story begins. More than 1700 people are united in this cause. I emailed the creator of this idea, Jonadab Martínez García and acknowledge that when I met him in automatically, I knew it was good news that deserved to be told.
As a reporter I have to walk and run many times to be on time for a press conference or the means to give the report. Line crossing for pedestrians is complicated, I recognize that more than I've ever beaten motorist's chest asking him to do to back, or told "You know the color yellow?, introduce him and here is this way I do."
Not only that, in supermarkets, shopping malls and government offices spaces for people with disabilities are respected. Also, more than I have ever angry and confronted with those who do not respect the drawers for people with disabilities. That is why the Facebook group opened seemed to me that united Jonadab these two subjects that interest me as a reporter.
Jonadab interviewed and discussed his plans to stick stickers with the legend "I do respect", Sunday May 9, these unknown joined the network to raise awareness among motorists.
is true, as journalists we have a lot of bad news, fill in the gaps of information that leaves the liver and head bleeding burning with rage, but it is also necessary to look at those efforts that make citizens to search the country to change, even for many minimum actions are stories that deserve to be told they are the "Other Note" . This is my first blog entry because I refuse to die so young. I'll leave the review, I hope your comments.
This entry
also included the first interview I did with Jonadab Martínez García.
