Knowledge of journalism and information production routines, as well as the user level of the basic elements of journalistic production in multimedia formats.
This course aims to consolidate, in a practical and innovative way, the contents worked on in the different modules of the Master within a journalistic work structure. Students must design, produce, publish and manage different types of journalistic content and generate innovative communicative proposals in terms of formats, platforms and audiences.
The course is developed throughout the Master, in the two academic semesters. In this way, the classes will be developed under the working scheme within a journalistic newsroom -or a specialized communication agency- that will oblige the students to plan the short, medium and long term in the generation and production of contents, and to guarantee their optimum management.
Content Overview
- Organization of a newsroom in the 21st century
- Types of newsrooms, working structures, success models
- Criteria for day-to-day innovation
- Innovative work laboratories and projects in the information environment
- Content production, case studies
The order of the topics indicated may vary according to the final planning of the subject. The detailed calendar with the specific contents of each session will be exposed on the day of presentation of the course.
In the 1st semester, the course will be coordinated by Prof. Pérez Tornero, and will focus on debate, practical exercises and the collective construction (between students and teachers) of knowledge around the subject.
In the 2nd semester, the course will be coordinated by Prof. José Manuel Pérez Tornero, and will be developed in an essentially practical way, with the intention of developing journalistic projects with students based on their own design, production and dissemination. The students could receive orders for real products or informative companies that will have to be carried out in the workspaces of both the University and the company.
