Future media specialists learned about content creation at the RUSSIA EXPO
At the International RUSSIA EXPO, a media school was held
for future journalists and media specialists. Tenth-grade students from the
Economic Lyceum of Plekhanov Russian University of Economics were introduced to
the workings of the RUSSIA EXPO's press center and internal television, visited
studios of federal TV channels — Channel One and "Russia 1" — and
attended a lecture on media content creation.
The Exposition was created, among other reasons, so that
children and young people could be inspired by Russia's achievements and decide
how and where they can realize their dreams, noted Anastasia Zvyagina, Deputy
Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO.
"Our Exposition has already been visited by over 14
million people, including hundreds of thousands of children and young people.
You are always important guests to us. Everything you see at the Expositions
and stands are achievements that were once just dreams of boys and girls like
you. We want to inspire our young visitors to achieve great things. I wish you
confidence and self-belief — then you will succeed, as Russia is a land of
opportunities," Anastasia Zvyagina addressed the lyceum students.
Participants noted that such meetings help them see media
production from the inside and immerse themselves in the work.
"I really liked it. What impressed me the most was
seeing in person what I watch on TV every day — for example, the studios. I was
interested in getting to know how professional cameras and other equipment
work. And, of course, I was very impressed by the people working here —
everyone is very energetic and bright, it's clear that they are creative,"
shared lyceum student Arina Minok.
"Such media schools are necessary: they give us more
skills and practice. I think it helps to understand what suits each person
better," emphasized Kira Melnichenko. "We are very glad we had the
opportunity to see such a large-scale operation," added Eliza Galiyeva.
The media school concluded with a workshop where the
students edited a video about their visit to the Exposition. It is expected
that groups of future journalists and media specialists will visit the RUSSIA
EXPO weekly.
