Class Debates Contemporâneos do Jornalismo Debates Contemporâneos do Jornalismo

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.

1) Thematic Blocks

1) The role of journalism on framing the world we do live in.

2) The questions of a critical media literacy.

3) Journalistic organizations and practices, and newsroom problems.

4) The complement and controversies between the academic theorization on journalism and the journalistic praxis.

2) Sub-issues:

2.1. Journalism and social inequalities and discrimination.

2.2. Journalism and critical literacies – audiences and reception problems.

2.3 The journalistic practices (ethics, deontology); journalistic organizations (economic and funding issues); Newsroom problems (Inside points of view).

2.4. Journalism praxis and Journalism theorization (Contemporary trends and traditional questions).
