Scientific journalism has not yet reached a consensus on whether the column is a full-fledged genre, but one thing it affirms unanimously: to write in an authorās column, you need to be educated, creative and multifaceted. Such is the Russian journalist and columnist of the newspaper Vzglyad.
Andrey Arkhangelsky: biography
In order to have a more complete opinion about a journalist, you need to know about him as a person. Let's start with the story of life. Arkhangelsky Andrey Alexandrovich was born on June 21, 1974 in Sevastopol. He received two higher educations: one - journalism, the second - music. Many future journalists begin to write texts long before they enter the faculty of journalism, at a time when they are still thinking about the future profession. This happened with our hero. For the first time, Andrey's materials were released when the young man was 17 years old. It is this age that can be considered a reference point in journalistic activities.
Career
Since 2001, Andrei Arkhangelsky has been working in the magazine "Spark". Andrei also had experience working in television. Several times took part in the radio broadcasts "Echo of Moscow". So, on December 6, 2009 on air, dedicated to the memory of Vyacheslav Tikhonov, he was a representative of the young generation of fans of the artist. At Ogonyok, a journalistās career developed quite successfully. Andrey became the winner of the magazineās prize. At that time, the journalist worked at Ogonyok for only 2 years. He currently holds the position of editor of the department of culture. Andrey's materials were published in various publications, both Russian and foreign. Including Andrei's articles appeared in Nezavisimaya Gazeta, Moscow News, FUZZ, Toronto Slavic Annual.
Through the prism of Vzglyad
On the Internet, more and more interest is attracted to the newspaper "Vzglyad", published since 2005. This newsroom publication specializes in politics, business, finance, sports and culture. In this online newspaper, Andrei Arkhangelsky leads an authorās column. The publication has the peculiarity next to the publication to place the authorās photo with a small text fragment containing a short information about the journalist. Vzglyad reports that Andrei maniacally loves journalism, while at the same time it hates literary editors and litrabs, advertisers, managers, PR managers, mediocrity and opportunists of all ages, as well as those who do not like to read long texts.
Political beliefs
Andrei has always been a freethinker by nature. It is known that he is a convinced liberal, and remains so. The journalist is longing for the perestroika years of 1985-1991, and Mikhail Gorbachev is a heroic person for him. The question is controversial and controversial, but the journalist has such an opinion.
Point of view
Public postulates, books and experts unanimously insist that a journalist should be objective. Andrei Arkhangelsky does not recognize this and even considers the exact opposite. Feelings - thatās what, according to the journalist, you need to rely on in life. But really, where to find absolute objectivity, if everyone has their own? Perhaps, relying precisely on this rhetorical question, Andrei built his convictions. Or maybe the journalist led to certain conclusions life experience. In general, the essence remains one: the journalist prefers to trust only emotions.
Objectivity
On the subject of objectivity, in particular in journalism, Andrei published an article on the site of Vzglyad. The text, entitled "Two Myths about Journalism", is quite long, but so fascinating and interesting that the time it takes to read is unnoticed. By the way, the author is generally not a supporter of short articles of an informational nature. Currently, there is a tendency to write short texts, long ones are less popular, it is believed that no one reads them due to lack of time. But Andrei Arkhangelsky does not recognize monitoring news headlines and a quick look at a couple of paragraphs for reading. In an article about objectivity on the example of cars, theatrical productions and the work of public utilities, the journalist brings his thoughts in a colorful and accessible way, opening up to the audience. Such visibility, simplicity, openness of deep thought can characterize basically all the articles of a journalist.
What the author writes about
About everything, like a true journalist. The diversified, well-read and educated Andrei Arkhangelsky will not be at a loss to take any topic for his textual material. There are a lot of materials in the journalist's piggy bank on political topics, for example, on propaganda, Navalny and the reasons for his political popularity. What to hide, Andrei is quite hostile to power. But he expresses his hostility quite peacefully, within an acceptable framework. Not only articles are interesting, but also the authorās interview with other media. In them, he interestingly discusses pressing issues and gives more information about himself.
About the concept of "professionalism"
Andrei Arkhangelsky believes that a professional journalist must necessarily reckon with another, alien point of view. More philosophically, a journalist should ārecognize the other.ā If he doesnāt do this, itās about pushing ahead with his or most often someoneās ideas. At the same time, inhumanity cannot be another point of view. Things like chauvinism and lack of tolerance cannot be recognized under any pretext.
In conclusion
A man with his opinion, which he defends and defends, is always interesting to a wide audience. People need a point of view, they are interested in recognizing it in order to later agree or dispute, put up or rebel, but in the end think and develop their own. In this role is the Russian journalist Andrei Arkhangelsky.
