The best time to be a journalist
Hundreds of professionals and students met at quotation to reflect on the present and future of journalism.
Journalism has a future. That would undoubtedly be a good summary of the XV congress of Digital Journalism that was held on March 13 and 14 in Huesca and attended by twelve students of the School Communication. Two intense days in which they witnessed firsthand the status of the journalistic profession, as well as the paths leading to the future of journalism: Internet radio, publications for tablets, new ways of financing ... But above all, they could see that, despite the complicated status, in the media there is a hope that many journalists have already begun to build.
In addition to learning, these university students applied what they learned at class and live streamed the different presentations along with many other professionals. The entire conversation can be read at #CongresoHuesca. And here are some of the contributions made by the students themselves:
