In the information age, teachers become reporters and editors-in-chief in order to form and coordinate their school’s new journalism team.

The production of information, its management and the control of its validity are among the demands of our time.

First teachers and then students will be introduced to the world of journalism through the prism of “solutions journalism” (or otherwise “constructive journalism”), a new journalistic approach that focuses on solutions and not just the problem. Simulating a real newsroom, the students will learn to identify news and topics, conduct interviews and cover stories, and evaluate and check the accuracy of any information, with every one of them taking on roles and responsibilities.

Through the production of original journalistic material, children learn in practice how to manage information and claim answers to reasonable questions. They learn to evaluate sources, to check if what they read and watch is true, to respect their audience, but also to cooperate while aiming at the success and credibility of their team as a whole.
