“Análisis de contenido sobre las estrategias de investigación periodística del autor Hugo Alconada durante seminario Web”

Abstract

The study carried out stems from the need to understand the application of teaching methods within the informal educational environment of webinars. The research is limited to deepen on the use of the analog or comparative method based on examples to facilitate the understanding of concepts. The importance of exemplification promotes reflective reasoning and the development of applicable techniques in a real environment to manage to develop competences within society. In addition, the importance of the use of virtual platforms in favor of education is discussed, specifically in the area of investigative journalism. The progressive change in society transforms the ways of doing journalism and technology can bring us closer to various forms of learning, including webinars. The case study focuses on the content analysis of the seminar "How to propose a hypothesis for a journalistic investigation", in which the knowledge of one of the most recognized investigative journalists in Latin America named Hugo Alconada is exposed. Web platforms can be used as an accessible, fast and often free learning medium, so it is important to investigate what teaching methodologies can be applied to generate new knowledge.
