Students who carry out their curricular practices in the Journalism Classroom of the Faculty of Communication Sciences of the URJC develop the magazine COMversatorio.

The magazine analyzes different cultural or artistic manifestations such as cinema, literature, performing arts or plastic arts through interpretive journalistic genres such as reportage, chronicle and reported interview. Currently, the students who make up the editorial team are working on a new design for its digital version and its goal is to publish it on paper by the end of this course.

In COMversatorio the texts are accompanied by photographs or illustrations made with the 'DALL E' program, in some cases they have been accompanied by videos prepared by the Audiovisual Communication Classroom, as in the report 'Sick life', which collects the testimonies of people who suffer from chronic diseases.

Within the medium there are reports such as 'We, young people of war' which is a collective text, in which several members of the editorial team approach Russians who flee their country to avoid being enlisted in the army. The magazine's own editors affirm that "the perspective of the young editors of the Fuenlabrada Campus alternates with the situation of their Russian contemporaries."

The publication aims to be a space that captures the interest of the general public, “signaling the university as an agent of dissemination and creation of culture” as stated by the coordinator of the URJC Journalism Classroom, Gustavo Montes, and also adds that : “students have felt it as an opportunity to discuss the topics that interest them and explore the different forms of narrative journalism.”

COMversatorio is open to the participation of external collaborators and students of any degree or master's degree at the URJC, particularly degrees and double degrees in Journalism. Those interested can contact the editorial office by email .

Journalism students can request to carry out their curricular practices in the Journalism Classroom on the platform External Internships of the URJC.
