Introduction and Aims of the course

This postgraduate course attempts to expand the knowledge of reporterism as a journalistic genre in its several modalities: press, books, television, photography and radio. To fulfil this aim, the students will know about the practical study of the work of several professionals that will participate in the course. With the knowledge acquired, the students will develop the papers of the course.

The connecting theme of the course is the book Notícies del més enllà*, by Eugeni Madueño and Bru Rovira, that explains the work of the reporter. Moreover, the particular study of the work of several reporters will make more observable the practical reality of this journalistic genre.

*News from the Great Beyond

4- Fieldwork: methodology, the point of view, the situation of the reporter.
5- The presentation of the reportage: the selection of materials, the connecting narrative, techniques and journalistic genres, the thesis, the difficulties of the synthesis.
