New Spanish-Portuguese network to learn about online journalism
Publicado por: admin en Online Media (English)
On April 6, 2008, I participated in Austin, Texas, in the 1st Digital Journalism Ibero American Coloquium, organized by Rosental Calmon Alves, Knight Chair in Journalism at the University of Texas. During this event, 25 journalists and researchers from Latin America, Spain and Portugal invited to attend committed to Rosental’s idea of creating a network geared to sharing information and knowledge about new media and digital journalism.
The most immediate goal of this network is to foster communication and knowledge-sharing among anyone interested in learning how to connect with audiences online and in developing effective digital journalism products. W
hile most of the people at the meeting were either journalists or researchers, a number of participants stressed the need to involve students and younger people drawn to new media. The initial idea is to share this informa
tion in Spanish and Portuguese.
I think this is a great idea: journalists, bloggers and media owners in Latin America have much to learn from what’s taking place in and outside the region.
The is the list of participants in Sunday’s event: Rosental Calmon Alves, Knight Chair in Journalism at the University of Texas; Mario Tascón, Cecilia Alvear, independent journalist; António Granado - Público (Portugal); Christian Marra - Master em Jornalismo (Brazil); Cilene Guedes - O Globo Online (Brazil); Cristina Aby-Azar - Wall Street Journal Americas (Estados Unidos); Denis Burgeiman - Abril / Knight Fellow (Brazil); Ezequiel Abiú - Clave Digital / Knight Fellow (República Dominicana); Andrés Cavelier - El Nuevo Herald / Nieman Fellow (Colombia / Estados Unidos); Fernando Rodrigues - Folha de Sao Paulo / Nieman Fellow (Brazil); Fernando Zamith - Universidade do Porto (Portugal); Guillermo Franco - El Tiempo (Colombia); Hernando Álvarez - BBC Mundo (Colombia/ Reino Unido); Ignacio Catalán - El Universal (México); Joao Canavilhas - Universidade da Beira Interior (Portugal); Lidia Maropo - Universidade Nova Lisboa (Portugal); Liza Gross - Miami Herald (Estados Unidos); Margarita Funes - La Prensa Gráfica (El Salvador); Mario Tascón - PRISA / El País (España); Patricia Santa Marina - Infobae (Argentina); Paulo Motta - O Globo (Brasil); Telma Luzzani - Clarín (Argentina); y José Zamora - Knight Foundation (Estados Unidos).
