Incorporate your professional tools, techniques and ways of working in Specialized Sports Journalism, into the mastery of a form of communication that operates with its own communicative keys"

Sports Journalism is a unique phenomenon that has developed in Spain in an extraordinary way in recent years, even to the point of becoming not only the specialized journalism field with the most headlines in the country, but also one of the star sections of the most important print and digital newspapers, as well as of the programming of the main radio and television media. 

The large volume of journalism of this type makes it today the most consumed and demanded product. Consequently, it has the largest impact on what citizens say and do, especially among the youngest, who are great sports fans and tend to emulate their idols by adopting certain expressive and behavioral patterns.

In its evolutionary process, this type of journalism has created its own style, based on the originality and spectacle of its proposals, and has provided a new model for the presentation of information through a language that is visually attractive, common and easily accessible to all audiences.

Therefore, it displays notable strengths, such as its universality and ability to set trends and fashions, its increasing presence in dictionaries, and the development of its own differentiated language that contributes to the evolution of the language. Also, this type of journalism has earned itself a better consideration from linguistic institutions for its ability to innovate and create new words, expressions and meanings. 

This program exposes the key elements to take advantage of the possibilities offered by a website: live digital broadcasts, social networks, blogs, the creation and management of a digital identity, audience measurement systems and advertising strategies. 

It specializes professional journalists in social media so that they can practice their profession in collaborative settings and adapt to the changing environment that has marked new social media networks.
