My favorite professor

Margarita Feodorovna Zhelnovakova taught our group since the very first year such subjects as Introduction to journalism, Media System, History of Journalism, and some others. Also Margarita Feodorovna is a professor, who is the head of journalistic program and the head of summer internship for journalism students in BS BRICS.

Margarita Feodorovna, as for me, very positive, open-minded and open-hearted person. When it was several first lectures, I was a bit scared of higher education. Even though lectures with her were not easy, but interesting, challenging and understandable.

This professor has one interesting feature: she likes, when students ask her questions on the topic of her subject and generally about journalism. She always asks if anybody have questions. This was so hard for the first time, but then it got easier.

I would like to tell you about one subject, that she is teaching us. I consider this subject the most interesting one. This is History of Journalism.

In my opinion, if journalist is a bit illiterate and sometimes make small mistakes in a few words for an article, it can be cleaned by editor. But when journalist does not know history at all - it is a bad journalist. The whole article then is a bad writing. Without knowledge of what was before, we can not understand current situation and predict future.
