For four weeks Rádio Atlântida received Erasmus students and showed them what the work as a radio journalist means.
The students had three practical classes and they had the opportunity to see how it is to work for the radio. They made three newsletters. One of it was more demanding because they had also to add a recorded part.
The radio director, Carlos Antunes Pires was always with the students during their practical lessons near the teacher from the Journalism Workshop II. They both gave advices to the students and guide them.
Thanks to these practical classes students have learned more and trained as a journalist and have seen how professionals work.
Erasmus students from the University Dos Açores from Journalism were practicing at RTP Azores in March and April.
The students have beenfor four weeks at RTP Azores where they had the opportunity to see a TV studio where they received guidance from specialists and improved their skills.
The students had the opportunity to make a reader and two interviews. One of the interviews was with Herberto Gomes, a professional journalist at RTP Azores, who agreed to help the students. The journalist gave them advices and answered to the questions to those who want to follow him in his career.
Due the practice in the TV studio and thanks to the teachers, the students learned what attitude must have in front of the cameras, what position should they adopt and how to improvise when they are wrong.
This experience was unforgettable for the Erasmus students, even if they faced with many emotions. It was intended to improve their training as future journalists and to realize what is the branch of journalism they will follow.
Freedom of Press published Press Freedom Report on 27 April 2016. According to report, media freedom is getting worst in Turkey.
Every year, Freedom House publishes Press Freedom Report by countries. This year report says that ‘’In Turkey, media freedom deteriorated at alarming rate in 2015.’’
The report emphasizes that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his party-Justice and Development Party(AKP) tries to control media freedom as much as they can. For this reason, they are using penal codes as their wishes.
According to the report, Turkey placed in no press freedom countries. Between 199 countries Turkey located in 156 ranked. On the other hand, in the same category, there is other countries which are Bangladesh, Burundi, France, Serbia, Egypt, Yemen, Macedonia, and Zimbabwe.
The report, especially, emphasizes for key development in Turkey like this;
‘’Authorities prosecuted a number of prominet journalists on terrorism-related charge including the editor in chief and the Ankara bureau chief of the Cumhuriyet daily, who were arrested in connection with the paper’s coverage of alleged weapons shipments to Syria by Turkish intelligience services.
Changes to regulations for journalistic accreditation brought the process under increased government control, allowing further room for arbitary and discriminatory desicions.
There were several instances of acute violence toward media: Crowds attacked the offices of the Hürriyet newspaper twice in September, and three journalists were killed during the year in connection with their work.
The placement of outlets owned by Koza İpek Holding under government trusteeship resulted in dozens of dismissals and changes in the outlets’ editorial lines, effectively making them more friendly toward the government. ‘’ (Freedom House, 2016)
The report also examines separately legal environment, political environment, and economic environment. Through its analysis, it can be conclude that these aspects of Turkish society are getting worst. Turkey is losing points day by day.

8 February, 9:55 A.M.: SATA’s airplane arrives in Sao Miguel. An usual day for the flight crew, but an incredible day for two of the passengers. One of them is me, the other one is Diana, my friend and my colleague and in that day our ERASMUS adventure begun.
When we decided to go for a semester as an Erasmus, we didn’t know what to expect. We just wanted to change the same old routine, to travel and to challenge ourselves by studying in another country and in a different language.
If you haven’t heard about the ERASMUS programme , I will tell you what you need to know. Briefly, ERASMUS was named after the Dutch philosopher Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, who has traveled the world in order to expand his knowledge. At the same time ERASMUS is an abbreviation for European Region Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students and is a European Union student exchange programme established in 1987.
Therefore, when you decide to sign up for this programme you have to keep in mind some things. You will be far away from home for up to 3 months, depending on the programme that you choose. The classes may be in another language that you expect to be. You will be asked to be flexible, to adapt easily to any situation and to have an adventurous spirit.
Said and done. Back in Romania, we were studying Journalism and we were in our last year, which complicated the situation a little bit. When we arrived here none of this have changed, but the subjects chose by us were not exactly as the ones that we were supposed to study in Romania. Easily we adapted to the new situation and we started to go to classes. We had a lot of projects to do, many assignments, meetings with professors, exams, but we made it.
Being a student at University of the Azores gave us the opportunity to develop more and to gain more practical information that we will apply later in our career.
Now we are at the end of the semester and it feels like no time passed, like yesterday we arrived on the island. I believe that when you take such a decision, to apply for an exchange programme, you take a decision for the future. Such an experience will help you grow, to learn more about you and the world out there and will challenge you each step you make.
In a few months, we will have a new President of the United States of America. This is a good opportunity to review the 2015’s photographic account of Barack Obama’s Presidency, published by his official photographer half a year ago. In this year of Presidential elections, we invite our readers to meet the official photographer of the President of the United States and his yearly “best photos” list.
The man who is behind all the photos with Barack Obama is Pete Souza. He is the Chief Official White House Photographer since 2009, and also the Director of the White House photo office. Thus, this is not his first time inside the White House. After he started his career in the 1970s in Kansas, between 1983 and 1989, Souza was an official White House photographer for President Ronald Reagan. He was also the official photographer for the funeral services of Ronald Reagan.
Souza can boast himself with many achievements since he first started. Numerous photojournalism awards including several times prestigious Photo of the Year, the NPPA’s Best of Photojournalism and the White House News Photographers Association’s yearly contest. Besides this, he also produced and published a variety of documentary books based on his work. First to be published was in 1992, “Unguarded Moments: Behind-the-scenes Photographs of President Reagan”, a coffee-table book, based on his almost 6 years in the White House. After 12 years, he published an updated book, “Images of Greatness: An Intimate Look at the Presidency of Ronald Reagan”.
Souza’s most recent book is “The Rise of Barack Obama” and includes exclusive photographs of the Senator Obama’s rise to power, featuring photographs between 2005 and 2008.
As the photographer of one of the most influential man in the world, his main goal is to be an invisible observer of President Obama’s role in history, disappearing into the background, while capturing Obama’s job from a perspective that isn’t typically covered by other photojournalists. His yearly “best photos” list includes more than 100 photos, focusing on more intimate angles.
“I not only found key historic moments from the year, but also chose moments that give people a more personal look at the lives of the President and First Lady. I’ve also included many photographs that rely more on their graphic qualities, including light and composition.” , Souza wrote in a post about the collection.
Cerca de cinquenta jornalistas de Chhattisgarh, Estado Central Indiano, reuniram-se, recentemente, em Nova Deli, para exigir o fim da intimidação por parte das autoridades. Foi pedido ao Governo Indiano um ambiente propício à realização de reportagens independentes.
[Os jornalistas estão preocupados com as detenções feitas aos seus colegas]
Desde Julho de 2015, pelo menos quatro jornalistas foram presos, outros dois deixaram o Estado e muitos outros continuam a enfrentar assédio diário.
“Um grande número de jornalistas tem deixado a sua profissão nos últimos seis meses, o facto de não terem precedentes mostra o quão grande é o medo que se vive“, disse Kamal Shukla, presidente da Patrakaar Suraksha Kanoon Sanyukt Sangarsh Samiti, um grupo que luta para a criação de leis de proteção em prole dos jornalistas.
Neste sentido, o Governo de Chhattisgarh anunciou no passado dia 20 de Maio, a formação de uma comité, composto por jornalistas e funcionários públicos, para investigar as detenções feitas até ao momento.
Apesar do movimento protestante organizado pelos jornalistas, parecer ser uma culminação bem-sucedida, estes, dizem que vão esperar para ver o trabalho deste comité antes de gritar vitoria.
