Learn the tools and working methods of Data Journalism and start working in one of the most demanded areas of journalism today”

Society has changed substantially in the way it relates to each other. Communication has become an almost organic process between distant places; immediacy has displaced rigor; opinion has taken a leading role in the process. In this context, the journalists become an intermediary agent who need to reinvent their role.

The new tools, the new communication projects and the new economic imperatives of the sector require the professional to have a specific program, focused on the practice of journalism in a digital environment. These changes are associated with new social and ethical responsibilities of great importance, related to the role of journalists in social media, their capacity to influence as opinion leaders, and their moral responsibility in the handling of information: its positive and negative aspects. During this program we will enable a detailed analysis of this new panorama, in constant evolution, detecting specific features, possibilities and limitations of great interest for journalists of the 21st century. And above all, opening new paths and avenues of development and evolution that will propel the journalists in their career towards success.
