The publication, prepared by students of Journalism degrees and double degrees in practice at the URJC, opens its first issue with 'Platypus and Mutant Journalism'“Our first piece tells stories of a changing and constantly mutating world and tells them through the free, uninhibited and honest perspective of young journalists who are barely twenty years old,” says the coordinator of the Aula de Periodismo and director of the magazine, Gustavo Montes.

This first issue includes four special contributions by journalists Ander Izagirre, Alfonso Armada, Javier Valenzuela and Juan Vilá, which describe their beginnings in the world of journalism. “The texts are presented interspersed with reports in a kind of intertextual dialogue, as suggested by the title of the magazine, between the experience of many years of work and the incipient path initiated by these young professionals,” says Professor Montes.

The presentation ceremony will be attended by the Dean of the FCCOM, Rafael Gómez Alonso, and the journalist Alfonso Armada, editor and director of the magazine BorderD and the magazine's young reporters.

Narrative journalism, which is the style of the magazine, “is a hybrid genre where journalists are allowed to escape the inflexible constraints of the informative genre and creativity and literary style are values ​​that are open to experimentation and exploration,” according to one of the publication’s reports. “It is about young journalists exploring other ways of telling stories, new styles, new hybrid languages, since they already acquire the basis of informative and interpretive journalism during their studies,” explains the director of 'Comversatorio'.

La magazine It is the result of a journalistic and training project by the Journalism/Digital Publishing Classroom, created together with two other production units – the Audiovisual Communication/Audiovisual Production Classroom and the Advertising and Public Relations/Advertising Agency Classroom – by the Faculty of Information Sciences at the Rey Juan Carlos University and conceived as laboratories for the creation and production of content.
