Corso molto interessante, che offre molti spunti riguardo al mondo del giornalismo, dell'editoria e della grafica applicata al mondo dell'informazione. Mi sarebbe piaciuto qualche approfondimento in più sugli strumenti diversi dalla carta stampata (che sono trattati in misura molto minore), ma comunque il docente ti trasmette tutta la sua passione per il suo lavoro. Molto interessanti e ricchi di utili spunti gli interventi dei due ospiti d'eccezione.
