    Zdravo, ja sam Marija, a vi pratite Uvodni kurs o muzičkom novinarstvu. On je najpre namenjen onima koji žele da se bave ovom profesijom, a primećuju da su resursi vrlo ograničeni. Istovremeno je namenjen i samim muzičarima, kako bi bolje razumeli sopstvenu poziciju u odnosu na novinare.

    O čemu ćemo pričati:

    • O stanju muzičkog novinarstva na Balkanu i u svetu;

    • O razlici između novinara, PR-a i fana;

    • Analiziraćemo neke loše primere i propuštene prilike;

    • Razmotrićemo potencijalne teme u muzičkoj industriji i načine pristupa intervjuisanju muzičara;

    • Podeliću sa vama neke praktične vežbe koje vam mogu pomoći u radu, kao i korisnu literaturu.

    Kao što sam pomenula, ovo je uvodni kurs koji bi trebalo da vam ponudi osnovne informacije o ovoj profesiji. Nadam se da ćemo u budućnosti realizovati i napredni kurs za one koji žele prodube svoje umeće.

  • O predavačici1:00

    Da odmah razjasnimo, ja nisam najbolja muzička novinarka na svetu ili u Srbiji, koja će vam svoje silno znanje preneti kroz ovaj kurs. Ja sam vaša vršnjakinja, ili nešto starija od vas, i oduvek sam znala da želim da se bavim muzičkim novinarstvom. Međutim, kod nas ne postoji specijalizacija za ovu oblast.

    Moj put je išao tako što sam završila osnovne studije novinarstva na Filozofskom fakultetu u Novom Sadu, gde je postojao izborni predmet Muzika i mediji. Nakon toga sam upisala master studije na Akademiji umetnosti, Muzičkom departmanu, a program se takođe zove Muzika i mediji. Preporučujem oba ova programa i mislim da pružaju izuzetnu podlogu za profesiju muzičkog novinara.

    Međutim, s obzirom na njene specifičnosti, isključivo od vaše inicijative zavisi koliko ćete je produbiti i kako ćete izgraditi sopstveni stil intervjuisanja, kritike, autorskih emisija i slično.

Requirements
