[ecrea] Entrepreneurial Journalism, a renewed hope

Entrepreneurial Journalism, a renewed hope

A seminar for journalism instructors (Cuenca, Spain, 2-6 June 2014) 
organized by the Faculty of Journalism at the University of Castilla-La 
Mancha under the sponsorship of the US Secretary Kerry's Forum on Youth 
Employment.



The goal of this seminar is to train selected journalism instructors 
from different regions in Spain on Entrepreneurial journalism. It will 
include panels and workshops for lecturers, as well as open talks to 
university students. Participant professors would become promoters of 
Entrepreneurial journalism, which may be seen as a new employment niche 
for recent young graduates from journalism schools in Spain.



Entrepreneurial journalism, under development since 2008, refers to 
three distinct features. First, journalists are both promoters and 
shareholders of their own projects, with seed money coming from their 
own severance payments and other investors outside the major media 
companies. Second, the commitment to a digital model rather than 
traditional structures (paper and other fixed costs of distribution, 
promotion and sales). And third, the heavy use of social networking and 
personal branding as a driver of business promotion –blogs and Twitter 
are natural extensions of journalistic contents, introducing new revenue 
sources out of traditional advertisement.



There are 22 full-scholarships and 8 partial-scholarships. To be 
considered, please send your CV and a brief cover letter outlining your 
interests to (juan.manfredi /at/ uclm.es) before 5th May 2014.
