Course objectives
The course taught online offers a unique opportunity to get to know a wide range of topics in journalism, media studies and public relations from a practical perspective. Experts/graduates of the Media Studies and Journalism study program from organizations and institutions are invited to the lectures. Students can get to know a number of leading experts, they will meet different points of view on the issues of the field. The subject will also be an opportunity for informal discussions. Individual semesters of teaching are thematically focused.

The aim of the subject is to provide and expand students with practical information about the approach to journalism and public relations and to acquaint them with the differences based on the practice applied by graduates of the study program (field) in various positions in various organizations and institutions. The course is therefore conducted with the active participation of experts from practice, who bring experience from their daily work to the teaching. The students will then use the acquired knowledge in the final discussion and reflection in the form of a colloquium.
