The Place of Proximity in Journalism Training Programs

Abstract

The association between journalism and the Internet generates a new communication process which once again enables the public sphere reconfiguration, using digital public interaction as its pattern. Due to their identity, local communities could facilitate digital communication process promoted by their own media. Nevertheless, it's crucial that a strategic alliance should be carried out by the Academy, involving its host communities, developing journalism education plans that overtake parochialism, which usually distinguishes local geographies.
