Visit of Tatyana Goryachova
Before I saw her I had thought that she hadn't spoken Russian or had spoken it in a bad way - and I was pretty surprised. After her presentation I didn't change my mind - as it was supposed by me. Even her "hot" speech didn't compel me to review me opinion that it is, actually, "dead" deal - to be a journalist. Because there is no 3rd way - or you write what you are told to write or you are dead. Because nowadays there are 3 kinds of Mass Media: independent (which includes opposition), government and commercial (as it is in Ukraine, as Tatyana Goryachova said). read more »

Visit of Tatiana Goryachova
The 90 minutes with Tatiana went so fast. It was exciting to meet her and hear the stories of her profession. Actually the first impression of her was like typical woman that I can see everywhere. Bur what is inside her was something different. When one of us asked why she just quit doing her profession if her family was sufering from threats,I imagined myself being in her situation. Perhaps I would not afford that. The answer really impressed me. It was because she loves her job so much and it was because of the people who are waiting for the real news. read more »
