An Expert on your Field


The man in the picture is Alfredo Lewin. Perhaps you are wondering who him is, and the answer is that he’s a chilean communicator, specially he’s dedicated to the music.


Alfredo was born in 1969 in Santiago, Chile. He studied Licentiate Degree in English Language and Literature at Catholic University of Chile. But he never worked on it. After the graduation, he travelled to United States for working on MTV. 


Maybe he is the man who knows more about music in Chile and Latin America right now. He has worked in different jobs, each one about music journalism, because for him music is more than a style of art. For Alfredo, music is a style of his life. 


Currently, he’s working on “Sonar FM” Radio and as well, he’s the director of “Rockaxis” Magazine.

Also, he was awarded as “Personaje Radial del Año” this month by ARCHI. 


I admired him because Alfredo is a very good communicator and also, he knows so much about music. Music to me is everything, so I dream with work on it in the future as Alfredo did and still he do it.

The danger of a single story

I really think that in Chile the news are a little awful. The reason is because the newspaper and the television always show crime, painful stories and bad things happened.

Also, sometimes the stories they show aren’t good. Sometimes only one side of the story is shows and the others sides or point of views haven’t into it. Honestly, I’m not pretty sure if in Chile freedom of speech really exists because the people who have the power always have the control of press so only the information is manipulated by them and people consume it.

I totally agree with Chimmanda Adichie. She’s right about many points. First one, she speaks about the discrimination. Sometimes people think something wrong just because the ignorance they have. The Mass media help in it too, only express what they want, and people believe in it and think it is totally true. But isn’t.


I think, we as journalist have the mission of showing different point of views of the stories. We have to express the reality as much as we can. How the thing really happens and after the people could think by themselves, have their own opinion about something that happened.
