There are those who remains in his Alma mater to pass on knowledge to the next generations. Among them were the Dean of the Faculty of international journalism of MGIMO Yaroslav L. Skvortsov.
“When your humble servant was at University in the mid-80s, we were prepared propagandists and contraproductive. Our colleagues often say that everything is back to normal. I will allow myself to disagree. There are two components that you could call yourself a journalist-foreign Affairs specialist. Need, first, to love your country or region about which you write, and secondly, to be able to convey this love to the readers. If you’re a writer in Japan to love, understand, be familiar with the Japan and be able to available words, simple language, with love to share with their readers in Russia,” – says Dean of the faculty of International journalism of MGIMO Yaroslav Skvortsov.
Studying at the University – continuous self-improvement, I’m sure the Dean of the journalism faculty at MGIMO. According to him, in the modern world, knowledge quickly depreciate, if not to modify. Yaroslav Skvortsov, along with his colleagues derived a formula for successful training of professional international journalists.
“We shared everything on the hardware, technology and brains – so. With fellow deans of Gorbachov four leading universities of Moscow and a number of Gorbachov Russia, we came to the conclusion that it is often modern technology that our students speak better than we do. And all that relates to brain is to us! Because it is also one of the important, if not the defining possession of the tools of modern communications technology,” – says Yaroslav Skvortsov.
Not all graduates devote themselves to journalism. Even those who teach students such a serious craft, I cannot predict whether one or the other graduate of the famous and successful.
“We are engaged in creative work, and once the great Maya Plisetskaya said: “You know, I every day give flowers every day, when I bring them home, put them in the vase, trying to guess which flower will bloom tomorrow, and which will wither , never guess”. We can not, in contrast to agronomists and breeders to predict what will grow after 4-6 years, but if you are a student with love and try to make a man of him, and that’s a lot,” emphasizes the Dean of the faculty of International journalism MGIMO.
Requirements for journalist is very high. Now it’s not enough to just be stranovaja. In its activities it needs to be a shrewd diplomat, a psychologist, navigate freely in the world political processes, to see cause and effect, to be able to predict the direction of political interests.
“International journalism is very important and not only in Russia. All the space it shapes public opinion and everything we know about politics. Thanks to journalism, the media people should be understanding what’s going on in the world. I think that international journalism is very important,” – said the student of MGIMO Irina Karpushkina.
Irina Karpushkina just starting to learn the basics of journalism. After graduation, she sees herself as a special correspondent in Germany or the United States.
“If I have one course available 2-3 stars, is a good indicator. Our profession is so dynamic, changes in the demand for the profession, changing functionality, changing tasks, changing profession of a journalist in the modern world, including technology… But I hope that every graduate in this life is not lost, I try to keep” – says Yaroslav Lvovich.
As elsewhere in the world, in Russia there are no universal requirements for journalists. The main thing in this profession is to work honestly, with love and soul.
