The new path aims to offer its students skills and abilities to respond as professionals to the digital challenge.
"Our faculty was born thirty years ago," said the Dean, Fr Fabio Pasqualetti, "obviously in an analogical context. I believe that in the beginning good choices were made, which already characterized us for the orientation towards reflection on communication. We had three specialization addresses: Research, Journalism and Publishing, Media for the Community. Above all, this last choice: Media for the Community was situated in the context of the social aspect dear to us. Today there is a need to continue to train competent people in communication languages, but in a new framework represented mainly by the digital network and environments."
The cultural, social, technological and professional changes that have characterized the last decades have made necessary a reflection that the Faculty wanted to concretize in the new curricular proposal entitled 'Social Communication, Digital Media and Culture.'
The network today represents the communicative habitat for everyone, and it is therefore important to allow students to acquire skills in the use of digital languages and in online information management. Professional figures like those of the journalist, for example, have changed considerably in recent years: the journalist is no longer the one who simply writes, but one who knows how to 'write' in different digital languages.
From audio and video production to digital storytelling, from photography and visual communication to website management, from multimedia journalism to ethics and deontology in the media ... The new curriculum, maintaining a theoretical-practical training approach, is designed to prepare experts who can work in the various areas of multimedia and cultural production of public and private, secular and ecclesiastical organizations.
Not to mention that the specialist cycle also offers in-depth training for the managerial administration of all these processes of today's communication.
"Of course, there will always be the great challenge to reflect on what to say today, because while technology simplifies processes, the difficult thing remains to say something interesting," concludes Fr Pasqualetti.
