Class Journalistic Composition

  • Presentation

    Presentation

    This curricular unit aims to function as a theoretical-practical introduction to the practice of journalism, providing a general overview of the contexts (social and organizational) of the profession and the requirements (technical and human) required of professionals.

    Providing students with a critical perspective on what the media currently conveys and on the reality "told" in it, on the one hand, and providing them with the technical equipment used in the journalistic style, on the other, are the main objectives of this discipline. Observing, researching, analysing, reporting and writing will be the predominant activities throughout the course.
