Yekaterina Andreyeva gave high praise to the level of the Young Journalists School
Participants in the “Young Journalists School” project know
how to ask a question in a way that makes it interesting to answer. That was
the opinion shared by TV presenter and journalist Yekaterina Andreyeva during a
master-meeting held at the National Centre RUSSIA.
"I often attend various events where young people talk
to me, and it is rare that I meet those whom I would like to have as my
colleagues. But here, many of you really have the potential to become great
journalists. That means you have good mentors — and that commands respect. The
future belongs to young people, and if this generation resonates with you, then
you will also like the future," said Yekaterina Andreyeva.
The TV presenter also admitted that she does not always
enjoy answering questions, even though she is a journalist herself. However,
the meeting with the young participants was a pleasant exception: "I
really liked the way you speak: the timbre of your voices, your appearance, and
your ability to put a question to me in a way that makes me want to answer it.
I enjoyed listening to you and talking with you."
Yekaterina Andreyeva noted that the project participants
know how to engage even an experienced person and expressed her hope that the
young people will become her future colleagues. The TV presenter also thanked
the project's teachers, emphasising that she understands how tough was the
selection process the young journalists had to go through.
The Young Journalists School is an original project of the National Centre RUSSIA; it is a multi-format programme for training the media specialists of the future. Participants gain systematic knowledge of the Russian language and the power of words, as well as the basics of journalism, its genres, ethical and legal standards. But the main focus is on practice: under the guidance of mentors, the young people create multimedia content and test it immediately across different platforms. The project develops critical thinking, the ability to verify facts and resist manipulation, and fosters civic engagement and a sense of involvement in the life of the country.
