communications?
To the former, don't be discouraged by the negative comments about the present and future of the profession that you have probably heard since the first day you went to class in your degree. It is true that traditional media are losing readers, listeners and viewers, but the digital universe, for example, opens up new employment opportunities. I would also like to recommend that you don't limit yourself to sending out CVs, that you take a few risks and start creating content : a blog, a podcast, a digital medium... Anything goes to publish your own creations that a recruiter might have an eye on tomorrow.

I would advise those who want to work in corporate communication to keep "in this world". It is very praiseworthy to work in event design, for example, or in protocol, but communication is nepal phone data much more: it is essential to be well informed and, in addition, to read a lot (not just current affairs) and, very importantly, to write well.

For decades, it has been said that the profession is in crisis. What is your opinion? How do you see the future of journalism?
My answer is related to the previous question. Those of us who studied primary school remember having gone through other crises. Now they say that another one is coming, comparable to the one in 2008 or even worse. I think we cannot let ourselves be carried away by pessimism. The world has changed: a pandemic, a war in the heart of Europe, the threat of global warming... We have to take it all in, be flexible and move forward.

What role will fake news and fact-checking play in the future? Are we becoming more likely to be fooled?
The problem of misinformation is very worrying. Leticia Rodríguez, a professor at the University of Seville and an expert in detecting fake news, told me in an interview for my blog that one of the dangerous consequences of fake news occurs in the political sphere : populist politicians, she told me, settle into post-truth because we, the citizens, are "consumer voters who approach politics from a place of complaint." And that is very dangerous. Trump or Putin have authentic machines around them for creating fake news.
