Objectives

The aim of this course is to assist students in planning and organizing the production of a webmagazine in English. At the beginning of the course students are expected to establish an editorial, technical, visual, marketing, multimedia and journalistic unit. The course will try to cover also some specific technicalities, according to our needs, but be aware that some roles require some little a priori experience.

Content

The students will produce a web-based magazine on a specific theme (this year focus will be on the loose theme of "interviews"). They will form an editorial team and decide about the contents and the outlook of the magazine.

Grading

Assessment scale: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Marks will be assessed according to active participation, understanding of the role chosen and quality of the contribution.
