Specialisation in Journalistic production in radio, TV and press

This specialty diploma aims to deepen the training of future radio and television producers with a strong theoretical foundation, complemented by internships in the country's main audiovisual communication companies.

At the same time, it also provides tools for any journalist who, in the course of their work, will need to produce interviews and reports. The Journalism and Audiovisual Communication degrees from the main Catalan universities do not delve deeply enough into that part of journalistic work that takes place before conducting an interview or writing a report, which usually occupies more than 50% of their time.

How to find, contact, and schedule interviews with relevant and/or anonymous people? How to prepare the filming of an audiovisual piece outdoors or an informative documentary? The diploma aims to train students in both the most journalistic aspects of production work and the logistical ones, which are equally important.

The theoretical training will be provided by professionals in journalistic production who are currently working in the main media outlets in Catalonia. The theory will be divided into three blocks: production in radio, television, and the press in general. Attention will be paid to technological innovations, such as artificial intelligence applied to journalistic production.

The diploma ends with mandatory internships as a producer in a media outlet.

Career opportunities

With this diploma, you will be qualified to work as a producer in any radio station and as a program coordinator in any television station. This training, however, is essential for any journalist, which will enhance their skills and abilities to perform their daily work more efficiently, and therefore, differentiate themselves from the rest.

Internships

Curricular internships: Internships are mandatory to complete and obtain the specialization diploma. They involve spending 370 hours in an audiovisual media outlet performing producer tasks. They can be carried out in two shifts: April-May-June or July-August-September (the duration will depend on the daily hours worked in the media outlet). The shift and the media outlet will be chosen during the first two months of classes (February-March) from the options offered by the collaborating journalistic companies. In case there are more requests than available places, the tie will be broken based on the student's CV. The objective of the internships is for students to have a first contact with the professional practice of journalistic production in audiovisual media today. In addition to observing the work of professionals, students will also be able to put into practice the knowledge acquired during theoretical classes and practical work of the postgraduate course.
