Today, the University of Miami Koubek Center announced the opening of its online course "Journalism in the 21st Century." This is the first time that a comprehensive course of this kind has been offered, in Spanish, in the United States.
The objective of the course is to offer basic tools, from a theoretical-practical perspective, for efficiently preparing traditional media (newspapers, magazines, radio, television, Internet), and for undertaking personal projects, such as web pages and blogs, among others. The course, which begins September 28, is designed for media workers as well as other professionals who want to break into the world of communications.
"As a pioneer in the teaching of Spanish language journalism in the United States, the Koubek Center is proud to maintain that leadership, this time offering courses over the Internet, which is so relevant in our increasingly digital world – for Hispanics as well," declared Pablo Chao, Director of the Koubek Center, which he has headed for over 28 years.
Though there is no age limit; the course is intensive and demands complete dedication. Knowledge and skills are fostered through novel online teaching techniques.
The course structure comprises six subjects studied over a period of six months: Current Trends in the Press, Information Journalism, Interpretation Journalism, Op-Ed Journalism, Investigatory Journalism and Journalistic Ethics and Morality.
The professors are renowned journalists with academic experience and extensive service credentials in various press media.
For more direct information from the professors, you can participate in an "Information Session" on September 9 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time, which you can access at www.livestream.com/edmiami. The professors will hold a dialog with their international audience on this new Online Journalism Program. For those who cannot participate, the event will be recorded and available on the web site: www.livestream.com/edmiami. You can also see a video testimonial by well-known Univision journalist Dr. Maritza Fuentes, in which she tells of her experience with the journalism programs offered by the University of Miami Koubek Center.
