Summer course: International Journalism in a digital environment, July 
2015 – Madrid



The International Relations Section of Communications Faculty 
(Complutense University, Madrid) will offer a summer course on 
“International Journalism in a digital environment” during the month of 
July. We will try to teach the new basics of foreign reporting in a 
World where information spreads in the social networks and is not an 
exclusive privilege of an elitist tribe anymore. The aim is to bring 
International Relations as close as possible to the reality of the 
communication labor market and to its newest professional profiles, so 
there will be a mixture of theory sessions and practical workshops that 
can be of interest to students of Journalism –or journalists- thinking 
about working/freelancing abroad. Among other topics, we will see: state 
and non state actors in International Relations, the new role of 
agencies, international legal protection for the freelances, finding 
information in social networks, getting tips on security and 
cibersecurity, verificating user generated content, keeping accuracy on 
top of priorities, data-journalism in cross-border investigations,  etc.

Professors are among the most well known in the field of International 
Relations in Spain, and guest correspondents are professionals highly 
celebrated by international colleagues and very much renowned in the 
social networks. The language of the sessions will be Spanish-only.

Course organizers: Dr María José Pérez del Pozo, director of 
International Relations section, Communications Faculty, Complutense 
University of Madrid; Dr Yolanda Sobero, lecturer on International 
Relations at Complutense University and well-known RTVE reporter; Myriam 
Redondo, journalist and PhD in International Relations.
