Journalism is a profession that understands and grants meaning, a social scenario of understanding and misunderstanding, and the place for present-day hope, but above all, it is an act of writing and narration where society counts itself and life is described. This course-workshop studies from the analysis and practice: the work of informing and telling the reality, for such purpose we conduct practices on language and the ways of expressing journalism as a job and as a profession, we practice journalism-oriented writing (report, interview, writing of reports or profiles). This is done through concepts, understanding, analysis and practice so that the students learn and think about their experience as readers and writers to determine the type of journalism that must be conducted nowadays.
