Introduction to Journalism / Introduction to Journalism

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Journalism has been, is, and will be an ever-evolving activity, in a world that we know as changing. History records that the fundamental form of communication at the dawn of humanity was oral-written, but in the recent past, journalistic activity found an expansion in film, television, and radio. However, Teletext and the digital press open up a formidable field of possibilities for communications in the 21st century. So the historical panorama of journalism is broad enough to write much more than just a chronicle.
Do you want to be a journalist? Do you want to learn the ins and outs of this activity as old as it is necessary? In the Introduction to Journalism class, you will have the basic tools to train yourself as an excellent communicator. As a journalist and graduate student, I am interested in academic research in the areas of Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as historical, philosophical, linguistic and communicative research on the media, and my main goal now is to continue studying this and other gnoseological phenomena in various postgraduate lines.
Join my class! In the end, life is a beautiful chronicle, and you will have the tools to describe it.

About Me

I recently graduated with a Journalism degree, from the Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas (Central University “Marta Abreu” of Las Villas), Cuba, with excellent results and with honors, as I obtained a 4.90 GPA (from a 5.0 scale) that qualified me to hold the Título de Oro (Golden Title). Furthermore, I was recognized by the academic institution with the Premio al Mérito Científico-Técnico (Scientific-Technical Merit Award).
During the course of my higher education, I received awards and recognitions in scientific forums, colloquiums, symposia and competitions. I published as a co-author a scientific article in Estudios sobre el mensaje periodístico, of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Complutense University of Madrid), Spain [indexed in Scopus: 23 (2), 2017, pages 709-726]. I also participated as a Peer Evaluator for the publication of an article at Revista de Estudios Sociales Contemporáneos, of the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (National University of Cuyo), Argentina (No. 20, June 2019).
Since September 2019, I work as a journalist at an importante Cuban radio station. I not only master my native language, Spanish, but I fluently speak English and French. I also have experience with various audiovisual and text editing programs, and especially with the Sony Vegas and Adobe packages, as well as the usual office supports.
Currently, I am studying a master’s degree in Political Science, at the Central University “Marta Abreu” of Las Villas. In fact, I am one of the authors of the book Enfoques críticos sobre la teoría y la práctica políticas en América Latina del siglo XXI (Critical Approaches to Political Theory and Practice in Latin America in the XXI Century), the second collective book of the master’s degree in Political Science at the Central University “Marta Abreu” of Las Villas, prepared primarily with the contributions of students and professors belonging to its third edition.
I am interested in scientific publications in the areas of Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as historical, philosophical, linguistic and communication research on the media. In fact, my degree thesis dealt with the discursive construction of Westernity in the news agencies Reuters, Sputnik and Notimex, and I aim to continue studying this and other gnoseological phenomena in several postgraduate courses.
I recently accomplished an online postgraduate course, entitled “Violencias contra las mujeres y radios por la no violencia” (“Violence against women and radio stations for non-violence”), sponsored by the association Radialistas Apasionadas y Apasionados (based in Quito, Ecuador), which allowed me to associate my knowledge about the feminist struggle with my work in the media. In April 2021 I will begin to study the online specialization on Epistemologías del Sur (Epistemologies of the South), in conjunction with the Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (Latin American Council of Social Sciences, CLACSO), the Centro de Estudios Sociales (Centre for Social Studies, CES) and the Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences, FLACSO Brazil).
It should be noted that I am a pre-admitted student in the Máster Universitario en Estudios Humanísticos y Sociales (Master’s Degree in Humanistic and Social Studies), at the Universitat Abat Oliba CEU (Abat Oliba CEU University), in Barcelona, and I am in the process of formalizing my enrollment to begin my studies around September of this year.

✅ SEMIOLOGY, 'BEHAVIORALISM' ('BEHAVIORAL' ANALYSIS, 'PROFILING') IN THE SERVICE OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND SPEAKING 🚀
➤ A follower of the "message beneath the message", as Roland Barthes would say, the semiologist is above all a detective of language and helps you in this sense: he sees meaning, deciphers and carefully analyzes the signs that surround him to interpret their meaning, reports on the effects of meaning, the connotations and the implicit present in the communication. He starts from the surface signs visible to all to bring out the latent meanings. His interest is most often focused on the phenomena "on the margin", at first glance not very significant, which are located behind the scenes, rather than on stage. In short, all these elements not necessarily visible at first glance. What applies to semiological analysis? Everything: Images, logos, websites, gestures, behaviors, words, speeches, symbols, spaces, in short everything that allows humanity to communicate. On the other hand, the semiological method cannot be invented since it is very specific. Like an iceberg, it is a question of going from superficial and visible signs to latent signs and meanings. ➤ A fascinating discipline, semiology and the analysis of gestures, behaviors and verbal & non-verbal language allows us to decipher the signs of our personal and professional daily lives. In a political speech, on an advertisement, or through our gestures in the professional and personal context, our words and behaviors, the narration of signs mark a certain relationship to the world. ➤ By learning to dissect the meaning of words and gestures, semiology allows us to take a particular look at the coherence of communication and its relevance (versus the opposite), to understand the details of our own speech, and then to make good use of it. ➤ Thus, from the semiological methodology (rigorous, specific, objectifying), verbal, graphic, symbolic and behavioral identities can emerge. ➤ Finally, semiology is neither a matter of philosophy (it only operates from one or more corpora, concrete materials to be analyzed) nor of psychology (it is less interested in intentions than in the signs produced). It is an analysis, a look at one's own communication and that of others which allows one to react better intuitively. ➤ This is why these sessions are intended to be above all practical: filmed exercises, analysis of images to be dissected and then implementation of techniques / tools / methodology which will help you in your daily life, to improve your verbal and non-verbal language but also to decipher and understand that of others. ➤ Among the content browsed: 1) identify and act on behaviors: -transmission of acquired knowledge on non-verbal communication in order to quickly detect intentions -immersive team-building mode to bring out helpful behaviors (despite the saboteurs) 2) Profiling - Diagnose and guide based on a written or visual corpus: -build the storytelling -bring out a type of profile -understand insights 3) Brand Strategy - Create a new brand, company or personal positioning 4) Concrete techniques & a targeted methodology for: ✓Acquire practical tools to improve your rhetoric/repartee ✓Decode and use the practical communication tools of great leaders ✓Fundamentals (practices) of eloquence but also of oratorical art (intonation, gaze, gestures, elocution, range, emotions, pronunciation, development of one's own style of charisma, etc.) to ensure consistency between content and the form ✓Fundamentals of Body Language to support and not interfere with the speech while being convinced & convincing. ✓ Highlighting their speech & promoting their speaking to arouse interest, by building on their strengths. ✓Creation of a coherence between the message emitted & the message received in order to improve its speech and in fact, its professional/personal relations. ✓Management of Q&A sessions & external reactions during an intervention or an oral exchange. ✓Practical tools to put your interlocutor at ease and appear friendly/interested. ✓To succeed in a negotiation/mediation. ✓On the one hand, learning to say 'no' simply in three steps AND on the other hand, getting people to say 'yes'. ✓To turn sentences into positive AND constructive. ✓To manage conflicts (eg 'assertive' communication techniques, eg CNV techniques - Non Violent Communication). ✓To put NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) at the service of communication. ✓To adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language. ✓To use sentences, turns of phrase & expressions allowing to be precise, simple, effective & challenging. ✓To manage your personal & professional relationships with, for example, the preparation of your ratings. ✓Make your hypersensitivity a strength to tame your abilities. ✓Listening proactively and expressing / conveying ideas / message clearly. ✓Avoid letting your emotions show and propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills. ✓Be better equipped to recognize and immediately remedy situations that weaken their authority and affect their ability to communicate effectively. ✓Enhance their potential for expression and creativity (often underestimated until now) and 'apparent' sociability ✓Develop not necessarily self-confidence, but the 'appearance' of self-confidence, refine one's listening to respond adequately, open up to the resources of the imagination, free oneself from the rational to then structure one's speech. ✓Relate their communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) to the form of their expression. ✓Learn and put into practice persuasive communication techniques and better understand the perception that others have of oneself. In order to improve his skills of 'self-presentation' and conveyed image. ✓Practical techniques to foster the engagement of the other party. ✓Strengthen the structure of its communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell its ideas and projects. ✓ Optimizing internal and external relationships are professional fundamentals so that the structure of sessions, business dialogue and mastery of change communication are valuable. ✓ Decode advertisements, logos and slogans, Understand the impact of images and symbols on our emotions, Analyze cultural trends across the media, Create your own visual messages with formidable efficiency ✓ Analysis of non-verbal communication: - paralinguistic level: voice analysis, intonations, speech rate (...) - proxemic level: analysis of the distance between bodies/individuals - kinesic level: analysis of postures, gestures and facial expressions - infralinguistic level: analysis of physiological changes (dilation of pupils, blushing, sweating, etc.) - symbolic level: analysis of what adorns the body such as clothing, badges, tattoos (...) ➤ The semiologist or semiotician is led to specialize in certain universes, whether it is luxury, mass consumption or behavioral and body dynamics. His analyst side (linguist, semantician, semiologist, semiotician) and lecturer on the themes of negotiation and non-verbal communication will support your approach. ➤ So, discover the hidden secrets of signs if you are curious to understand the mechanisms behind advertisements, works of art, films or even social networks, if you want to learn to decipher hidden messages and analyze the signs that influence our thoughts and actions on a daily basis. As part of a fun and interactive learning experience, with concrete exercises for a captivating immersion. ➤ In short, in a context guided by the tools of semiology, the ability to speak in public is today an essential transversal skill to assert oneself, inform, negotiate and convince. However, to master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to strengthen the impact of one's own speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and expectations of the audience; by making an impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by integrating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; by adequately managing difficult situations (...). ➤ Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction), an emotion and above all techniques, tools, a method, a know-how, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech, all guided by the principles of semiology and behavioral analysis. ➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince and be impactful, challenge and make an impression, enhance your content, address your audience appropriately and optimize the quality and clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely about going through, implementing and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one` exchange, aimed at challenging your audience or interlocutor, taking care of the content as well as the form, all in a professional or personal setting. For this, there are verbal and non-verbal communication techniques, based on semiology. ➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve self-confidence, assurance, ease by overcoming embarrassment and controlling emotion in public. But also to work on leadership & charisma, in a context where empathy and emotional intelligence are at the service of communication, all based on the founding principles of semiology. ➤ To master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to master certain practical aspects of semiology, to strengthen the impact of your speeches: by structuring your interventions and taking into account the circumstances and expectations of the audience; by making an impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by integrating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; by adequately managing difficult situations (...). ➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practical exercises adapted to your daily situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can apply them immediately, and from the 1st session. 🚀 Discover the Hidden Secrets of Signs. Dive into the fascinating world of semiology with our practical training! Are you curious to understand the mechanisms behind written or oral communication? Learn to decipher hidden messages and analyze the signs that influence our thoughts and actions on a daily basis, with fun and interactive learning: Beyond theory, you will participate in concrete exercises, case studies to master the art of communication.

English and Social Sciences Classes from a LSE Masters student
The onset of globalisation has made English the main spoken language for communication. Speaking fluent English is an imperative skill required to make socio-economic progress. I am currently a masters student at LSE, who was raised speaking the language. In addition to my fluency in English, I also can teach social sciences, as it is my field of expertise.

Bilingualism and Code-Switching: by popular demand
In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students. Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English. My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual. For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

What is sociology? An introductory course on key concepts
The course, ' What is sociology?’, is taken from a textbook. The textbook comprehensively explores sociology, aimed at both students and educators. It explores various aspects of sociology and provides a rich understanding of social structures and institutions and their impact on human behavior and the organization of society. The course follows the same lines as my textbook (which can be found on Amazon in French and English). The course is organized into 14 modules as follows: 1. Introduction to Sociology 2 . The Origins and Development of Sociology 3 . The History of Sociology 4 . Theoretical Perspectives in Sociology 5. Research Methods in Sociology 6 . Socialization and Identity 7. Social Structures and Institutions 8 . Social Stratification and Inequality 9 . Culture and Society 10 . Sociology of Religion 11 . Deviance and Crime 12 . Social Change and Social Movements 13 . The Future of Sociology 14 . Conclusion: A Reflective Journey Through Sociology Every time, the teacher starts by presenting the topic. The students are required to take notes. Then, we start the questions and answers to ensure the students understand what was said. Then, we summarize, and that ends the session. NB: There will also be a distribution of references for further reading on the subject. Overall, the course provides a theoretical foundation for understanding key sociological concepts and their application to analyze and resolve societal complexities. It will be supplemented by practical exercises in content analysis, text intelligence, etc.

A level Economics: Content, Structure and Perfection
A-level Economics is a significant step up from IGCSE and AS-level Economics. It can often seem daunting, leading some students to struggle with the basics and ultimately underperform. In the worst-case scenario, this can even extinguish their interest in a potentially rewarding career path. This course takes an innovative approach to breaking down the fundamentals of economics using real-world examples to foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Additionally, students will gain valuable A-level tips and tricks to significantly boost their grades and aim for A* or A. The course is led by Ameer Sarfarazhusain, a first-year student at the University of Warwick. The University is ranked among the top 5 universities in the UK for its Economics course and top 3 for employability in top investment banks. Ameer has over 5 years of experience in student leadership roles and has taught various subjects to high school students. As the founder of the AYEP, he also delivers environmental economics classes to young people across the MENA region. AYEP has even partnered with the United Nations to contribute youth policy inputs to COP28 in Dubai. In conclusion, this course will expertly unravel the complexities of A-level Economics, setting students up for success and potentially opening doors to a fulfilling career.

Creative Writing for Advanced Writers! Refine Your Story and Let Your Voice Be Heard!
Writing is an individual and vulnerable process. When we creatively write, we are telling stories, and the effectiveness of each sentence affects how readers interpret our stories and us as writers. I know better than anyone how vulnerable it can be to share your writing. I also have an intimate understanding of the technical writing skills required to keep readers engaged and to get published. In this class, you'll learn how to: -Structure stories and paragraphs with appropriate beats and pacing. -Build complex, fully realized characters. -Write engaging, realistic dialogue in novel or screenwriting format. -Hook readers to the page using pacing techniques and red herrings. I can provide story and character consultation and feedback on your current projects. This is an advanced class. Please do not sign up for this class unless you have experience in creative writing. This may be a good class for a writer who has just finished their first novel and is looking for advice on editing and story consultation.

English Classes for Primary School to GCSE Level Students
I am a tutor with 7+ years of experience teaching at a variety of levels from primary school to GCSE level. I teach English Language, English Literature, ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, and Creative Writing. I have taught students both in person and remotely, planning lessons using virtual presentations, activities and resources both in the UK and abroad. I believe the most successful results come from fostering a friendship with my students, and providing constant encouragement and support in their areas of interest. I pride myself on being an attentive listener and carefully adapt to the specific needs of my students, which is particularly helpful for my SEN and ESOL pupils. I have previously volunteered as a mentor with charities such as Al Muntaha Tutoring and Debate Mate, providing mentorship, relevant advice, and support to young people. At the beginning of every lesson I also do short icebreaker activities and challenges with my students, using a points reward system to keep them engaged. Previous students have gone on to become the top of their class and receive recognition at school for both English and Maths. Lessons start at 1 hour in length, with longer lessons available if required. Lessons are structured according to the needs of the student; this can be working alongside their class syllabus to support them with progress at school, tackling an area or subject they are specifically struggling with, or helping them prepare for national exams such as GCSEs. I provide feedback after every lesson and detailed progress reports every six months for each student. I primarily offer online lessons as I have found this works well for me and my students, but in some cases I do teach face-to-face depending on location and availability within London. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have - I look forward to speaking with you soon!
