[EN] Alcañiz prepares its VIII National Course on Specialized Journalism: registration is now open

The municipal theater of Alcañiz will host on September 23, 24 and 25 the eighth edition of the National Course of Specialized Journalism, focused this year on events, emergencies and crimes. Thirty professionals, including journalists, security forces, firefighters and criminologists, will teach how to tell complex and sensitive facts with rigor and responsibility.

The programme is organised into two axes: how journalists report on these cases and contrast their sources, and how the State Security Forces and Corps work in crisis situations. Among the speakers are Manuel Marlasca, Mamen Sala, Carlos Quílez, Carmen Corazzini and the writer Juan Bolea, along with representatives of the National Police, Civil Guard, GREIM, Firefighters and 112 Aragón.
