El periodismo consiste en contar historias

Cada vez somos más y el caso es que se nota poco.

Cuando murió Franco faltaba un año para que saliéramos de las facultades los que pertenecíamos a la primera promoción de Periodismo como carrera universitaria.

Eso significa que durante la llamada transición nacimos para el oficio las seis primeras generaciones de periodistas universitarios. Pipiolos analfabetos a quienes los maestros de entonces nos daban sopas con ondas sin moverse del asiento.


Habíamos salido de Bellaterra en Barcelona y de Madrid que eran las dos únicas facultades de entonces (perdón, estaba también la del opus en Navarra) y tendíamos a creernos importantes por el momento que estábamos viviendo y la oportunidad que teníamos de contarlo. Pero aún así todavía resuenan en mis oidos las diatribas de aquellos entrañables veteranos del diario "Pueblo": esto de la política, chicos, -nos decían- está muy bien ahora, pero el periodismo consiste en contar historias. Que no se os olvide nunca.

Nos lo decían a los cuatro gatos universitarios pretenciosos de entonces. Treinta años después, tenemos docenas de facultades y miles de ingenuos y engañados licenciados al año que sueñan con ser Ben Bradley, pero a los que cada vez les cuesta más abrirse paso incluso de becarios.


Para abrirse camino creo que sigue vigente la receta de mis primeros maestros, que nos hablaban de contar una historia como fin último del periodismo en una época en la que apenas había jefes de prensa en ayuntamientos o autonomías (ni siquiera existían las autonomías) y en la que no todo el mundo sabía qué puñetas era un gabinete de imagen.


De aquel blanco y negro de linotipias y televisores únicos hemos pasado a la tdt, internet, móviles y satélites por un tubo. Y ¿qué historias contamos ahora por lo general los periodistas en nuestros medios? Pues gilipolleces: peleas de políticos, dimes y diretes varios sin sal alguna, ruedas de prensa.,convocatorias, remitidos de agencias de prensa y agencias de comunicación...

¿Pero historias? ¡Uf! Eso cuesta tiempo, desplazamientos y dietas. Así que a tirar de teletipo, niño, que hay que ahorrar.

Por eso me ha reconfortado tanto la historia del autobús de Barcelona. Seguro que la recordáis: Una viajera que no sabía que estaba enferma y a la que se le acerca otra pasajera para decirle que vaya al médico, que ella cree que tiene algo malo pero que aún está a tiempo. Resultó ser verdad y la pasajera agradecida consigue encontrar a su benefactora para darle las gracias porque contó su historia a una compañera de "La Vanguardia". Una historia de la que todos nos hicimos eco inmediatamente como no podía ser de otra manera.

Todos los días una historia, por favor, ¡que somos miles!

Aunque sea sólo una entre los cientos de emisoras de radio, periódicos de pago y gratuitos, revistas semanales, televisiones digitales o por satélite, codificadas y sin codificar, generalistas, locales...

Una historia al día, por favor.

Review of Easy Screen Capture: the easiest screen capture software
Easy Screen Capture by Longfine Software. Easy Screen Capture lives up to its name by being one of the easiest screen capture programs. This software uses icons to represent its screen capture options, including full screen, active window, window objects and region capture.
Features:
When you use the region capture method, the program gives you the ability to zoom into your capture until you're down to its individual pixels, giving you extremely accurate capture control.
Easy Screen Capture also offers a few editing tools, some color effects and a capture history, which shows you all of your most recent screenshot captures.
Although Easy Screen Capture gives you the ability to resize your captured images and puts proportion restraints on them, we found that when we resized our images, there was still some distortion present.
Summary锛\x9A
Easy Screen Capture is super easy to use and offers a few basic screen capture capabilities. However it is simply too limiting to be truly useful.
