Interviewing and Story Development in Oviedo
Come to Oviedo, Spain, to develop your reporting and story-telling skills in a newsroom environment! On this program you will professionalize your skills in interviewing and story development, from the art of posing questions to the critical task of listening actively and creatively to answers. Spanish language proficiency is not a requirement for the program. The goal of the coursework is to learn how to report from anywhere transcending language barriers.
The program is based in Oviedo, Spain. Oviedo is located in the province of Asturias; known as Spain's "Paraíso Natural". Oviedo sits at the foot of the Aramo mountains, just 23 miles from Spain’s northern Green Coast. Oviedo has an urban design which promotes equity and inclusion in historic sites, public squares, car-free livable streets and a culture of public gathering places: sidewalk cafes, markets and bars. It has a reputation for being one of the safest and cleanest cities in Spain, offering great quality of life for students. Take a look at this New York Times travel article featuring images of Asturias that offer a glimpse into its unique landscape, heritage and culture.
As a final project on the program, you will develop and report on a feature story. Your feature story will be reviewed and edited as part of the class, with the goal of publication. Read the stories of three Summer 2024 Interviewing and Story Development in Mexico alumni who had their stories published in Mexico News Daily.
