Subject matter

Since this is a totally laboratorial curricular unit, it will work as a newsroom of a
media organization and, whenever possible, in articulation with a real
newsroom. All classes will work as newsroom meetings to decide on the
editorial agenda and monitor the students' work, both by the editors of the
media organization and by the responsible teachers so that the production of
the pieces is guaranteed on time.
