For two weeks, 11 high school students ventured from theory to practice at the 5th edition of the Summer Camp in Journalism<\/strong>, organized by GFR Media and the Ferr\u00e9 Rangel School of Communication<\/a><\/strong> (ECFR, Spanish acronym), in Sagrado<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journey started on Monday, June 6, with the motto \u201clearning by doing,\u201d and with the guidance of Gabriel Paizy, dean of the ECFR; Rafael Lama, director of the El Nuevo D\u00eda and Primera Hora newspapers; and teachers Sara Justicia and Zacha Acosta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou young people are the future of the Island. With the development of social networks, the media has become more important in society. Take advantage of this great opportunity to practice and meet potential mentors,\u201d said Lama.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The veteran journalist recalled his time as a student at ECFR and as an intern in the Business section of El Nuevo D\u00eda, which years later he led. Lama was joined by Justicia and Acosta to provide advice on the industry; photojournalist Dennis Rivera, audiovisual editor of GFR Media, also participated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing a journalist is a profession that requires a lot of sacrifice, and a lot of responsibility. There\u2019s nothing glamorous. It is a very serious job,\u201d Justicia added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This camp had lots of diversity in interests: for example, the arts. That fact was evidenced in the workshops and conferences in hybrid mode given by journalists, photojournalists, and editors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore my brother left for Spain to pursue a degree in journalism, I helped him with an assignment where he interviewed Benjam\u00edn Torres Gotay, one of the best journalists in the country. That day, it clicked, and I discovered that being a journalist is for me,\u201d said student Natalia S\u00e1nchez.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like S\u00e1nchez, Heide Rivera Cruz is determined and will join the ECFR in August. Meanwhile, other candidates are still exploring options and goals, such as Gonzalo Andr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda and Sergio Fabi\u00e1n Merced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agenda for the Summer Camp in Journalism included a tour of the GFR Media production area, guided by Anamalys Mel\u00e9ndez, the company\u2019s Commercial Alliances Partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
