Learn in an essentially practical way how to be able work in Sports Journalism, Online, on Radio and Television, using data and research and get on the front line in this area of work"

This postgraduate diploma offers a specialized vision of online-digital Sports Journalism, how it is and how it works, analyzes its evolution, the tools it uses and the latest advances. 

It presents 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, the audience measurement system or 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.  

Today's sports radio, in fact, is the result of its last great threat: the television broadcasting of all soccer matches and the use of the viewer's 'double screen'. At the same time, the user can watch the game on the TV and comment on it on another other screen - a cell phone - on social media. Radio is at least consoled by the fact that technology allows a choice of audio, and many viewers prefer to opt for radio narrators, who have lost their protagonism to a new narrative model in sports broadcasts that is closer to the magazine.

We will also deal with the impact of new technologies on what has always been the most powerful means of communication; the characteristics of audiovisual language, with its own terminology for its content; sports broadcasts and all the agents involved; the functioning of a television newsroom, with special attention to the figure of the presenter; editing and audience measurements and, finally, we will review the most relevant moments in the history of sports in the media on a screen that currently competes and shares the limelight with other small screens, such as tablets and smartphones. 

In this sports specialization certificate, specifically, it addresses the importance of statistics, the most relevant sources of data information and how to use them to dissect the game and interpret it in order to provide the basis for quality journalistic content.

Finally, it analyzes the usual sources of sports journalists and reveals the particularities, dangers and difficulties of their relationship with them.
