Masters em Jornalismo, essentially a University of Navarra MBA extension program for business-side “content managers,” incorporates the curriculum of the Curso Abril do Jornalismo. I have no idea what an “in-company” partnership is. Perhaps it is garbled English for an “in-kind” exchange, a quid pro quo denominated in immaterial assets.
Curso en Brasil » eCuaderno: Professor J.L. Orihuela of the University of Navarra arrives in São Paulo later this month to lecture at the university’s Masters em Jornalismo Digital extension program here, which is hosted by the Instituto Internacional de Ciências Sociais.
Los días 17 y 18 de julio impartiré en Brasil un módulo sobre Weblogs y Medios en el Master em Jornalismo Digital del Instituto Internacional de Ciências Sociais de São Paulo
Prof. Orihuela — with whom I used to correspond occasionally, back when I was writing a Web log called Blogalization — will lecture on “Web Blogs and Media.”
I wonder if I can get in?
Navarra’s local Masters [sic] program has incorporated the curriculum of the Curso Abril de Jornalismo for editors from the Editora Abril. On the apparent results of completing said curriculum, see also
- “The Death of Fact-Checking in Brazilian Journalism”
- “A Profile of the Brazilian Journalist”
- “Why It Sucks to Be a Brazilian Journalist”
This is interesting because the Editora Abril is represented on the board of directors of the Innnovation International Media Consulting Group — founded by a group of deans from the University of Navarra, which sponsors the Masters [sic] extension course here — by Thomaz SOUTO CORREA:
Director and Consultant of INNOVATION. Journalist. Former Executive Vice President of Editora Abril publishing house. President of the Ethics Committee of the Brazilian Association of Magazine Publishers (ANER). Member of the Board of Directors of the International Federation of the Periodical Press (FIPP), of which he is a former President.
The ethics of the Brazilian magazine industry being what they are, I might have left that ANER item off my official bio, if I were Souto.
This Abril-Masters-Navarra nexus interests me.
Who is this Souto guy? What has he done for a living? What’s in his back file as a journalist that I can read? He was interviewed by Alberto Dines of the Observatório da Imprensa in April 2003.
Add to notes.
Later today, time permitting, I will add a recent interview with the head of the Masters [sic] program, Carlos Alberto di Franco, who believes the Brazilian media have done a fine job in recent years of “purifying the political customs of the nation.”
A imprensa vem desenvolvendo um papel muito positivo no que diz respeito à purificação dos costumes políticos do país. Eu acho que é uma das poucas vozes da sociedade que tem efetivamente denunciado com consistência e cobrado um comportamento mais ético das autoridades públicas. Eu vejo a imprensa brasileira como uma imprensa bastante qualificada sob esse aspecto. Refiro-me evidentemente ao que podemos chamar de grande imprensa, tanto jornais, revistas e emissoras de televisão dos grandes centros urbanos que são formadores de opinião. Não apenas informam, como formam a opinião. Minha visão é positiva.
The press has been playing a very positive role with respect to purifying the political customs of the nation. I think it is one of the few voice that has consistently denounced public corruption and demanded a higher standard of conduct from elected officials. I believe the Brazilian press is highly competent in this respect. I am talking, obviously, about the so-called “major media,” the newspapers and magazines, the TV broadcasters in the big urban centers that serve as opinion makers. They not only inform, they also form opinion. I have a positive impression.
My ears always prick up when I hear the rhetoric of “purification” and “purifying the nation” come into play. It sounds a lot like generalíssimo sort of talk to me. See
