“It seemed to me that I was an asset for the channel”: Mirna Schindler after her abrupt departure from Channel 13 | TV and Show

Surprise generated the departure of Mirna Schindler from Channel 13 after just over a year hosting Tu Día. Through a statement, the station confirmed the end of the employment relationship between the signal and the journalist.

in conversation with BioBioChilethe communicator approached the end of her cycle on Luksic’s signal, acknowledging that it took her by surprise.

“It is never pleasant to be fired. Never. I’d be lying to you if I told you I’m hopping on one leg. I think several things happen. I always understood that from the moment they decided to change the drivers for a couple of drivers, obviously a new process was coming, I understood it and I accepted it, ”she began by pointing out.

“But there were also the opinion polls commissioned by the channel, in which I was highly valued for the attributes that are important to me, and to any journalist: objectivity, credibility, information,” he added.

“It seemed to me that I was an asset to the channel Therefore, perhaps I was naive in believing and imagining, but because I was also told that they were not going to fire me, that I could either stay out as a panelist or in some other area of ​​​​the channel, “he emphasized.

“Basically what caught me a little bit low was this idea of ​​’you know what, we want to take advantage of your virtues as a journalist.’ That was something I didn’t expect. I always thought that I could stay as a panelist and in some way that was implicit but something changed in the end that made that decision be discarded, for reasons that I do not know, “he said.

“Processes have to mature and when you make such hasty decisions, in less than a year, you obviously didn’t let the process mature. Without prejudice to that, they can make the decision to want to change the drivers and that seems legitimate to me, ”he said. Despite this, she admits that her departure surprised her.

“I am shocked by the fact that they have taken me out in such a brutal way, because from the point of view of what is logical, it does not seem logical but unfortunately on television not everything is logical. There are decisions that escape logic, that run in another lane and that I have a hard time understanding them “he emphasized.

“I am a current affairs journalist, I was called in that understanding, they did not invite me to participate in a morning show, they invited me to participate in a current affairs program. If that current affairs show turned into a morning show, well, I get it. But I want to return to the present, that’s what I do, “she remarked.

As for the future, Schindler says that he plans to return to his columns as well as intending to return to radio. “I would like to do radio again, because the radio is a space where I felt more protected, more cared for, it is a space of much more comfort. Television is too much exposure, ”he acknowledged.

Finally, the communicator dedicated words of thanks to her team in Luksic’s signal.

“What happened happened. I thank the team because the morning team is a tremendous team. I appreciate everything I was able to learn during these months, it is not wasted time. I learned a new trade and this will remain, and if it can be used elsewhere, fantastic. If not, other paths will have to be found, life goes on and there are worse things in life”, he concluded.
