Acquire the ability to work as a specialist in Economic Journalism, with a high-quality program that will provide you with the skills of a first level professional"

Economic news occupies more news space nowadays. Radio and television news programs, the front pages of the press, online newspapers and news agencies open their news  almost every day or publish a final  segment with information related to Economic Journalism: unemployment data, the rise or fall of VAT, company layoffs, creation of new job opportunities, etc. 

In politics, in sports and in different sectors of society, especially in the business world, we perceive a great interest in the economy because of its importance and influence. Job creation or layoffs are always of social interest, with repercussion and valuation by political parties, unions, employers and workers themselves. When the economy grows, there is a "social optimism”, on the contrary, with crisis and in decline society enters into pessimism and almost depression
