Course Description

Wherever there is the human-being with his joys and his sorrows and wherever there are important events or raging conflicts, there is the reporter. He is the eye with which we see these events and the ear with which we hear about them.
He is that person who defies the odds and does not -very often- care about the dangers he might face, just to tell us the truth. In fact, TV reporting is one of the most physically taxing television jobs, but certainly one of the most exciting and interesting ones.
