As I said, I am majoring in Contemporary Journalism. For this major, there are three tracks: International news production, Data journalism, and Bussiness journalism. I chose International news production because I like to be the kind of journalist who talks with the society and who works for the society. I like these kinds of work. For me, it’s beautiful to learn, understand, and practice in an international way of doing journalism, not the local as I did. So that’s why I choose international news production.
But I realized that Data journalism will be the future. Because managing data, algorithms, and all these computational things, is very required in the works for the future. So I would like to choose data journalism, but it was in English and Russian which made me feel afraid. Now I’m very happy with international news production. It’s what I wanted and what I needed. But also I recommend to put data journalism in the future because data analysis and visualization are very required in the future’s work. Society needs this kind of profession as I see. And also this profession will get more money and more opportunities for sure.
