CINTEL introduced to the media representatives, the fourth version of the seminar Tecnodigital, which will take place within Andicom, held on October 28th at Cartagena de Indias. On this occasion, the theme of the seminar will focus on journalism and local development, which is aligned with the main theme of the congress: Technology: Creating welfare and building the future.

Since the national and especially regional media play an important role in developing plans to bring ICT to all Colombians, Tecnodigital4 is conceived as a seminar-workshop, where in addition to train attendees in the use of modern technological tools that are part of the ongoing exercise of the so-called digital journalism, will be discussed their contribution to local development of the regions in Colombia.

The training activity in technological tools for digital journalism includes practical exercises in creating blogs, podcasts, twitters and video podcast. On the Andicom’s Website will be opened a space where all materials that journalists develop during the Congress will be uploaded.

The Seminar TecnoDigital4 will have as guests, national and international high level speakers on issues related to inputs of digital journalism to local development, new trends, resources and the drafting manual for digital journalism. Alike, there will be held a debate on the factors affecting the exercise of professional communicators in the regions and affecting the development of digital journalism.
