Journalism

Journalism is not a profession, it is a way of life. Your worldview. Philosophy.

If you are not indifferent to what is happening, you have your own position, your own opinion and want to change the world for the better, this is your way) 

In the age of numbers, a journalist is a “universal soldier” Writing texts masterfully is today the main, but far from the only skill that must be mastered perfectly to work with news or analytical material. The use of all kinds of methods and tools for presenting information in one material, a variety of presentation of text content, animation, photos, infographics, video materials, soundtrack, the introduction of interactive elements into the resource – these are the attributes of the modern media environment. This is how content is presented to users today – conveniently, compactly, creatively, visually and in a variety of formats. But the most perfect form can never hide the emptiness of content. 

Studying with us, become interesting, versatile, deep and be part of an endless creative process!
