Sérgio Dávila, editor-in-chief of Folha, launches journalism course at CasaFolha
Journalist Sérgio Dávila has launched a new journalism course at CasaFolha, offering insights into the inner workings of journalism.
Sérgio Dávila, the editor-in-chief of Folha, has inaugurated a new journalism course titled "Journalism from Within: Behind the Scenes, Principles, and Techniques" on CasaFolha, the newspaper's streaming platform. The course is designed for aspiring journalists, those curious about professional journalism, and individuals interested in understanding the operations of Folha itself. It is available on the website casafolhasp.com.br.
In the course, Dávila, a journalism graduate from PUC-SP and a Knight Fellow at Stanford University, explores how facts are transformed into news articles and outlines the investigative process behind reporting. He delves into the elements of journalistic language and the ethical principles governing the profession. Dávila aims to demystify the role of a communication outlet, especially in shaping public information and media literacy.
This initiative reflects Folha's commitment to journalism education and empowering new generations of reporters. Dávila's extensive experience, having previously worked with prominent Brazilian magazines, lends credibility to the course, which seeks to equip participants with essential journalistic skills and knowledge.
