My future job

In the future I would like to work in massive media. But that, in these years, is a problem because press, radio or TV are not hiring a lot of people. So to have a space in that area now is very difficult. The other option of work being a journalist is in business or social organizations. Taking care of their internal and external communications. But that kind of job doesn’t motivate me a lot, but I know that work conditions and salary are better that in massive media.

I think that next year I’ll try do to my practice, hopefully, in press. A newspaper would be perfect, but radio or TV is also good. There I can evaluate the work conditions, salary and possibilities of moving forward there. If I like it, I’ll try to stay there. But if I don´t, maybe I change my thoughts of my ideal job.



Also I would like to study something else. Not necessarily another career, but maybe a minor or a magister in the area that I know that I can work and I like it. For example, if I am working in mass media, do a magister of social communication. Or if I am working in internal communication of business organizations, do a magister that helps me in that job. 

Books and authors

Is difficult to choose a favorite book. Many of them come to my mind, but I cannot put one upon another. Each one has a different story, style and topics. So I can only rank the books of the same author. And also, obviously I have my favorite ones.

In a quick reflection, I think that my favorite authors are:
Julia Navarro, a Spanish journalist who writes historical novels. I like them a lot because it includes political and social facts in a fiction story. Also the characters are so realistic. The last one that I´ve read is “You will not kill”. A story of the Spanish civil war of the 20s.
Ryszard Kapuscinski, a polish journalist that has a big variety of stories. In most cases are real tales that he recover as a reporter. My favorite one is “Another day of life”, that takes place in the independence of Angola from the Portuguese people in the 60s.
Michel Houellbecq, a French novelist that writes stories about solitary people in depressive situations. His reflections about culture and European polithics are very interesting. The last one from him that I´ve read is “Soumission”, that takes place in a fictional France governed by muslims.



The last book that I´ve read, the last week, is “Animal Farm”, by George Orwell. Is a satiric story of the Russian revolution. The characters are animals, and Russian governors of that times are pigs. I recommend it.

Movies: "Who loves Gilbert Grape?" and "Once uppon a time in Hollywood"

My favorite movie is “Who loves Gilbert Grape?”. I watched it randomly, only because in Netflix I saw that Di Caprio acts on it when he was 9 years old. He interpreted a child with mental disabilities, and I couldn’t understand how he was capable at that age to do such a impressive imitation of that condition. Also, Johnny Depp acts in the movie, like the big brother of Di Caprio. He was 24 years old. The movie was nominated to Golden Globes and Oscar prices. 

I like this kind of movies. Social drama, also historic movies sometimes. But lately I’ve been watching more documentaries than movies. I feel that every Netflix movie is similar, or maybe I am trapped in the algorithm.

The last movie I saw was “Once upon a time in Hollywood”, of Tarantino. Also, Di Caprio acts on it. And is the first time that we do it at the side of Brad Pitt. I think is a great movie, but unnecessarily long. I think the conflict doesn’t cook itself in 2 hours, and suddenly everything is going on. I would recommend it only to Tarantino fans.
