Where Future Media Professionals Learn Their Trade

Costa Press Club members held their November meeting at the alma mater of many of their Spanish counterparts – the Journalism and Communication Sciences Faculty at Málaga University – where they were invited to tour the facilities being used by the next generation of journalists and content providers.

As well as lecture rooms and state-of-the-art recording and TV production studios, the faculty has a historic dark room where students can develop photos just as press photographers did before the advent of digital technology: this brought a wave of nostalgia to some of the more senior members of the club!

Part of the tour included a meeting with a group of life-long learners attending one of the university’s courses for Over 55s – the ‘Aula de Mayores’ programme – who were preparing a Christmas radio presentation.

The visit was hosted by four members of the faculty including the dean, Juan Antonio García Galindo, and Laura López Romero, a long-standing friend of the Costa Press Club, both of whom specialise in the history of the foreign language media in Spain.
