Course contents
The laboratory shall provide students with the basics for journalistic writing, by taking into account production routines in newsmaking, with specific attention being paid to the role of sources and fact checking.
The context where students will be called to participate is that of contemporary media. More specifically, the Internet is considered the space of news negotiation, starting from the formats now present online: from blogs to citizen journalism, to social media.
