Acerca de Multimedia Journalism
Multimedia Journalism is a major within the discipline of Journalism, itself part of the broader academic field of Media & Communication. It combines traditional reporting and editorial judgment with digital production skills, writing for web and mobile, video and audio production, data-driven reporting, visual storytelling, and audience analytics, to produce journalism designed for multiple platforms. Students in Multimedia Journalism learn to gather, verify, and present news across text, video, audio, graphics, and social channels, building a professional portfolio that demonstrates cross-platform storytelling, technical fluency, and ethical decision-making.
As news consumption shifts to digital-first and mobile environments, Multimedia Journalism plays a central role in how audiences receive information. Programs emphasize practical, hands-on training, mobile journalism (MoJo), podcasting, documentary and short-form video, interactive graphics, and social media engagement, paired with newsroom workflows, content management systems, SEO, and metrics literacy. Graduates are prepared to produce timely, trustworthy reporting that meets the demands of converged newsrooms, editorial startups, and multimedia platforms.
