Introduction to the Program
Un programa exhaustivo y 100% online, exclusivo de TECH y con una perspectiva internacional respaldada por nuestra afiliación con la Society of Professional Journalists”
La comunicación política, además de depender de las últimas decisiones dentro de los contextos nacionales y abarcar todo aquello perteneciente a un delimitado territorio, requiere de un análisis profundo que ayude a interpretar y cuestionar el actuar de los cargos dentro del gobierno.
En este aspecto, el papel del periodista es fundamental puesto que consiste en el primer canal de comunicación entre la sociedad y los altos mandatarios. Las temporadas más exigentes para los periodistas ocurren cuando hay elecciones, y es que tienen que partir de la idea inicial de quienes son los candidatos, cuáles son sus propuestas, a qué partidos pertenecen y demás.
Es por ello que para que el periodista pueda desenvolverse en el contexto político, tiene que profundizar y actualizar sus conocimientos sobre la recolección de información, busca de fuentes y presentación de formatos. Por tal motivo, esta Postgraduate diploma busca perfeccionar las aptitudes del periodista y encaminarlo al mundo del Political and Electoral Analysis .
Se trata así de un programa en formato 100% online, con material audiovisual de primera mano creado por expertos en la materia con el fin de brindar las mejores herramientas. Otra particularidad del programa es que se puede acceder a él desde cualquier dispositivo móvil con conexión a internet, lo que significa que el estudiante no tendrá que trasladarse a ningún centro presencial.
Asimismo, gracias a que TECH es miembro de la Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), el alumno podrá acceder a contenidos especializados sobre ética informativa, libertad de prensa y buenas prácticas profesionales.
