Jorge Tirzo, a 20-year-old journalism student at the Monterrey Institute of Technology in Mexico, has managed to make a name for himself online.In the photo above, he is showing a class of professional journalists the website that he and a group of fellow students launched. The site is now defunct, but Jorge has a blog called Cosas Imposibles 3.0, which is a lighthearted look at his explorations into literature, art, technology and journalism.
Jorge is also working with an environmental organization called Pronatura to publish video podcasts produced by students. He regularly posts items about journalism and culture on his Twitter feed.
I invited Jorge to participate with professionals in a course at the Digital Journalism Center (Centro de Periodismo Digital) because he has some skills and experience online that the veterans don´t. He also had shown some initiative in launching various projects and getting involved in activities outside the classroom.
The truth is that veterans and beginning journalists have a lot they can learn from each other.
