Film journalism between tradition and new challenges. The workshop will have the goal of observing the various media (daily paper and online newspaper, specialized magazines, television and radio) in the light of the main changes that in recent years have involved the entertainment information and in particular the movie information with the advent of the Internet and then of social networks. The crisis of critics and the birth of influencers, the ever-increasing space for gossip and new forms of narration of news about cinema. The workshop will also address specific cases such as the #metoo phenomenon and the Oscar's resounding error to 'La La Land' actually intended for 'Moonlight' and also the show must go on in times of covid19. Students will be asked to produce an example of their choice (article, video interview, podcast or radio interview) among those proposed during the workshop.
