«Plunge into the world of new media»: a student from Kyrgyzstan about SputnikPro master classes
Journalists from neighboring countries had the opportunity to break away from the classical work format and learn a lot of new things.
BISHKEK, July 21 – Sputnik. From July 17 to 21, the third series of master classes «SputnikPro on Zubovsky» was held at the international multimedia press center of the media group «Russia Today».
They taught journalists and public figures from Moldova, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan modern methods of popularizing their resources.
The guests were told how to work not «for show», but to really break into the life of an ordinary citizen of their country through modern platforms, while speaking an accessible, understandable language.
Some of the participants have already been to Moscow, but for some of them «SputnikPro on Zubovsky» they also became an opportunity to get acquainted with the life of the Russian metropolis. The capital made a vivid impression on the guests, which even the heavy rains that covered the city from time to time could not spoil.
In addition, participants had the opportunity to get acquainted and exchange experiences, talk about the political situation in their countries, and the peculiarities of local journalism.
A student at the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University, Yana Krainyukova, has already achieved some success in journalism. She works as a presenter on university television «KRSU-TV», interviews, practices on Sputnik Kyrgyzstan, and makes documentaries. The girl had heard a lot about «SputnikPro on Zubovsky» from a friend who attended the first series of master classes, so expectations were high.
According to her, the most interesting lecture was about the use of virtual reality (VR) in journalism.
«At VR I visited aboard the Kruzenshtern. The emotions are simply unreal. I realized how cool this tool is. Especially in VR journalism, when history is told not in text, but with the help of other tools to immerse a person in that reality» – the girl told me.
