The Students of the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences of UB Will Have a Radio Show on Bucharest FM Starting This Autumn

GENERATION Z WILL BE ON-AIR STARTING SEPTEMBER 9, 2022

The students of the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences of the University of Bucharest will have, starting this fall, their own radio show. The Bucharest FM station, a public radio station, offered FJSC students an hour of broadcast starting with the autumn 2022.

Thus, the Generația Z show will be broadcast on 98.3 FM starting from September 9, 2022, every Friday evening, in the 21:00-22:00 time slot.

15 students at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences of the University of Bucharest are involved in this project, and the first group has already started working under the coordination of filmmaker Eugen Vrabie.

“The Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences is a faculty with an applied profile, so students need both modern laboratories where they can study or classrooms suitable for the current needs of the profession, as well as greater proximity to the professional environment, not only the individual way, but the institutional way. The partnership we initiated with the public radio station gives students the opportunity to perform at a station that cultivates quality journalism. I myself started my work in the press at the public radio station, a media institution where students will learn and practice the values ​​of the profession”, noted Prof. Antonio Momoc, PhD, dean of the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences of the University of Bucharest.

In addition, the director of Bucharest FM, Flavia Voinea stated: “I strongly believe that internships in the press are essential. Theory is very important, but it needs to be backed up by sustained activity in real life. The meeting with the microphone is magic, and students who have the chance of this meeting from the first years of faculty are at an advantage. Working in a newsroom, the pressure of time, writing for online, oral brevity… all these must be learned and repeated. It is already a tradition for Bucharest FM to receive FJSC students in internship programs”.

Since its establishment, the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences of the University of Bucharest has aimed to be the training ground in the field of Communication Sciences, intended to train professionals for the marcom industry and designed to work with media organizations, advertising and public relations agencies, to professionalize the creative industries and to graduate professionals in public communication, journalism and advertising.

The vision of FJSC is oriented towards professionalization of media, editorial independence, responsibility and respect for public interest. Professional ethics in public communication, in the use of new technologies, media education and combating disinformation represent the academic principles and tools of professional training through which we encourage a political culture of democratic participation and involvement.

The institutional mission of FJSC is a strategic one: to train responsible journalists and communicators with the major objective of protecting the public interest, correctly informing public opinion and promoting the values ​​of contemporary democracy.
