Teaching Methods

The teaching methods are mainly practical, with a strong laboratory component. Theoretical contents are presented and students are immediately challenged to apply them in writing texts for television. The class is then divided into groups, each student assumes a specific role in a simulated television newsroom and begins to produce news reports since its conception to the final news segment. Students shift between roles to perform all necessary tasks. All the newsroom work is supervised and guided by the teacher.
