Media activities

We learn by doing as well as by studying:
hence the practical media activities organized
at the University of Navarra School of Communication

Practical work and contact with professionals in the field have always been keystones of the educational program offered by the School of Communication. Along with study, putting what has been learnt into practice is a vital part of the training of communication professionals.

In order to achieve this goal, the School of Communication relies on:

• The involvement of more than one hundred distinguished media professionals and former students who take active part in the teaching of communication theory and practice;
• Excellent facilities: a television studio, eight digital editing suites, five radio studios, information editing suites, an archive, a sound studio, computer rooms, a multimedia laboratory and wire-free web-access for laptop computers.

In addition, many students combine their program of study with guided practical work in one or more of the School of Communication media outlets:

98.3 Radio Universidad de Navarra has broadcast cultural and educational programming, with a particular focus on the interests of its local and regional audience, since 1999. Moreover, the radio service provides students with an excellent opportunity to develop the practical skills required in the day-to-day work of communication companies.

Euroview is a cinema and television production company based in the School of Communication at the University of Navarra. It was established in 1989, and is involved in TV programs, documentaries, fiction and animation movies, corporate video production, educational projects and the development of specific media assignments.

Nuestro Tiempo, a monthly current affairs magazine, was founded in 1954. It has been published every month since its foundation: more than 600 magazines in total. Working at Nuestro Tiempo has been a springboard to success for many established journalists. One of the activities organized regularly by the magazine is the ‘Nuestro Tiempo round-table discussion’ where students are given the opportunity to meet media professionals or academic researchers to debate cultural issues and current affairs.

Boletín MMLab, a weekly online publication, is produced in the Multimedia Communication Laboratory by teaching staff and students of the School of Communication. The bulletin compiles news which is of particular interest to current and prospective media professionals from online news services throughout the world. The management and updating of www.unav.es/fcom is also carried out in the Multimedia Communication Laboratory.
