The statements were made this Friday by the National Coordinator of Journalism of the UBV, Luisana Colomines, at the Latin American Studies Center Rómulo Gallegos (CELARG, Spanish acronym) where the Latina American Meeting against Media Terrorism is taking place.
In Colomines' opinion, journalism teaching should be oriented to the search of a possible journalism, where the journalist is committed with a social administration, the community, and truth as an ethic principle.
She deems that in order to face the media terrorism, there has to be a total revolution of Venezuelan journalism to reach a more fighter one, revolutionary, and committed with the truth.
In this sense, Colomines pointed out that would be convenient to recover the Colegio Nacional de Periodistas (Journalist's College) or the Press Workers Union, which are under the control of people against national interests.
She stated that mass media owners impose editorial lines; “therefore, the Inter American Press Association will be never represent journalists, because they are more like the inter American society of mass media businessmen”.
She stressed that the big challenge is to reach a more independent and free journalism without being docile to the editorial lines of the big media”.
For journalism professors, the media terrorism is a big deal, “because it is not easy to teach journalism inside the media battle we are fighting across the country”, she held.
The idea is to find a truthful journalism, committed with its citizens, thus, “we want to propose a new kind of journalism, our own way to say things without diminishing the journalism technique”, she assured.
She emphasized that next journalists have to arrive and transform the place where they are going to work, no matter which one.
