Elaboración de informativos de televisión como método docente

Abstract

During the 2017-2018 academic degree, in the Audiovisual Journalism subject, a new methodology wasproposed: each practice group made a live News program and uploaded it to a YouTube channel(xornalismoudc). The work dynamics were identical to those used in professional news department: theinformative agenda and technical requirements were distributed, and in the following class it began witha meeting of the running order, timing, and presentation of the pieces and reports. The practiceconcluded with a drafting table for the informative forecasts of the following day. The master classeswere replaced by the public viewing of the news made by the respective practice groups. The application of theory to practice was constant. In the first weeks, also elements of writing, speech, and elaboration of news running order were practiced without real news. It was thus clear that the learning process accelerates markedly when the student faces their stage fright with a sense of reality and publicexposure and the consequent demand for credibility and rigor. It was also found that he understandsbetter the processes by doing and failing (learning by doing) than by rehearsing within the mostconservative classroom setting.
