Great Reporting in the Digital Age
Did great journalism die just because we invented the internet?
No. Digital platforms are the perfect place for great literary and investigative journalism projects, the perfect place for a nonfiction literature of reality.
Multimedia is photography, video, sound, infographics, text, intermixed. All the means to aspire to a crucial end: lucid, brave and profound journalism. Throughout the world, journalists, editors, producers are
conducting experiments that are shifting the ways we do and consume journalism. What are the new research tools? The new narrative strategies? The new economic models?
We will host some of the international and portuguese leading figures of this vanguard at the Escola Superior de Comunicação Social, in Lisbon.
