The International Journalism Laboratory aims to develop theoretical and practical skills useful for understanding and practicing journalism in an international context.
At the end of the laboratory, students will be able to:
• critically analyze the functioning of contemporary journalism in international contexts, distinguishing professional models, media systems, and platforms for news production and distribution;
• recognize and apply the main techniques of foreign and international journalism, both in traditional forms (reportage, interviews) and in digital and multimodal formats (live blogging, video, podcasts, breaking news);
• use international information sources in a critical and informed manner, assessing their reliability, relevance, and limitations, also in relation to the use of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and the role played by press offices and institutionalized sources in transnational information flows;
• produce and discuss journalistic outputs on international topics, adopting languages and formats appropriate to different media and professional contexts;
• understand the ethical and deontological principles of international journalism, applying them to the analysis of case studies and contemporary professional practices;
• orient themselves with respect to the professional profiles currently required in the international information market, identifying skills, emerging roles, and possible career paths, including in the fields of communication and media relations.
