RESEARCH AND LEARNING OF MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT

Description |
Cover Report Analysis of the Free Press in Madrid
The Communication Market is complex: by transversality (which is a factor of progress); because the quality is checked in all spaces and consumption models; because content distribution and marketing help to make information formats more useful and can be used correctly. It is a market that requires professionals who adapt and are able to offer their service as a product.
The content producer journalist must associate with the client that receives them. This is a dynamic market in constant transformation economic values such as time and space of consumption offer important benefits for media management. We are in a global and fragmented market in which new projects arise either in traditional media such as New Media. A market in which journalists will find their job opportunities in the start-up of their business projects. MediaCom UCM (Research and learning of Media and Communications Management) offers the development of ideas and the creation of guidelines for companies and professionals who need it. What are our objectives? To be able to associate with the new Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Communication (EEC) of the Complutense University of Madrid, with the support of the Office of the Entrepreneur (Compluemprende) that belongs to the Vice-Rectorate of Knowledge Transfer and Entrepreneurship.

AOVE DAYS at Farmacia UCM poster
We have developed different research results with the own UCM (Analysis of the Free Press in Madrid) and with other universities (OTRI UFV-2013 Profile of entrance of the students of communication in the Universities of Madrid 2011-2013) and elaborated professional reports by participating in R & D and we have created a social sense ("Critical analysis of the Media system in Spain: Credibility and impact on citizenship" - IP Pedro Farias Battle, Reports on the Journalistic Profession of the APM until 2012)
We want to continue to create Collaboration Agreements with companies and organizations to enhance their participation and finance this type of project (AC + EO = PF) that will allow us to know the market demand regarding labor and management needs in communication and information in order to give future professionals.
The service is offered to companies of any of the associated levels: journalistic companies, radio, television operators, information documentation centers, information agencies, communication companies, press offices, sports companies and professional associations, who need to know which are your needs in research and in the learning of the information and communication market.
Different methodologies are applied, such as the phenomenological one, that allows to know in a descriptive way the business, social and economic environment that have favored the business transformation towards digital environments, from the theoretical observation and the field work, and that allows to carry out the study ; and the structural one, which shows the influence of different endogenous and exogenous indicators in the course of research, such as ideological, economic, technological, cultural elements, etc.

And also |
From the MediaCom Group UCM (Research and Education of Media and Communication Management) we strive to make the university-business nexus a reality and our goal is to create an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Communication from the UCM.
We want to defend the graduates of Information Sciences to improve their work opportunities. It is fundamental work of the University to guide the student so that he knows how to select his professional options with criteria. For this it is important to teach him to think like that professional he wants to be.
We work for employability and quality in the employment of women. A woman entrepreneur journalist is possible.
It is necessary to make clear the journalistic competences in the professional practice, from the legal nature of the informative company.
