ComUM
ComUM is the academic journal of the University of Minho. I joined the team as soon as I set foot at the University (in October 2019) and stayed until July 2021. I went through the culture and society sections and it was through this school that I learned a lot about journalism and that I saw my first article to be published .
The fact that I have a particular interest for art led me to enter the culture section first (October 2019 - December 2020). There, I covered performances and shows, interviewed artists, previewed events and wrote about important cultural happenings.
The desire to explore new contexts made me enter the society section ( January 2020 - June 2021 ). I had the opportunity to cover major events, interviews, reports and previews.
