Presentation
Under the main question “What are we talking about when we say journalism” the UC is intended to address a large field of themes that are in the core of the contemporary journalism on its multiple forms and contents. Four great modules of debate will take place: Joining four teachers and promoting the contact with journalists and other visitor professionals, the UC will realize some synthesis of the studies’ cycle for students who seek for the journalism as a profession, but also to those whose option will be the studies’ prosecution. The plurality of point of views and thematic accuracy of the questions raised will complement the formation received both on the practical and on the theoretical components of the cycle.
