Through this series, the University of Zaragoza is opening a direct dialogue between academia and professional journalism, with the aim of analyzing the main ethical, technological and professional challenges facing journalism today. In this way, it is strengthening its commitment to a free and well-informed society through knowledge transfer, media literacy and the defense of rigorous, high-quality information. At the same time, it is consolidating its role as a leading forum for analyzing journalism in Aragon and building bridges with the professional sector.
