Overview of the guide book. 6 Introduction. Overview of the guide book. With the revolution of the communication ecosystem, universities must adapt their curricula to the new social and economic reality. They should also promote and research the new dynamics of the newsrooms, in order to train a new generation of journalists who understand multimedia, hypertextuality and interactivity. That is, a new cohort of “integrated journalists”, with the ability to work cross-platform, control the production processes, proceed with the news coverage with any tool that can be carried in a backpack, and edit choosing the most appropriate language for each kind of information. Within the current environment, universities must enhance their role as active agents in the media landscape. Moreover, they must undertake innovation and development initiatives, which until five years ago were mainly carried out only by media groups. The project “Integrated Journalism in Europe” funded by the EU, ERASMUS Lifelong Learning Programme, is linked to changes in the European higher education curriculum and global media changes. This project looks to implement these communication changes in the classroom and to extend this experience to the European citizens through future journalists. Five universities form the consortium that is conducting this research: Pompeu Fabra University (Spain), Babes-Bolyai University (Romania), Paris 8-Vincennes-Saint Denis University (France), Danish School of Media and Journalism (Denmark) and Linnaeus University (Sweden). IJIE: AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The project aims to innovate through the cooperation between European academia and media companies. This cooperation will materialize in a partnership, with both educational and professional benefits. Both media and universities need to adapt to the new reality of media convergence and transmedia. Therefore, this project promotes four basic factors to consider in journalism education today: the convergence of media, the relationship between universities and the business sector, professional simulation and the internationalization of teaching. The main objective is to make class simulation an effective method for acquiring professional skills. The starting point for this project was the "Integrated Journalism Workshop" (Da Rocha, Narberhaus and Alsius, 2012), a successful educational initiative launched by the Pompeu Fabra University the academic year 2011-2012. After examining the state of the art, the consortium has detected that other universities are interested in trying new forms of teaching journalism, more adapted to the contemporary context. To be exported, these teaching forms will need to be adapted to the different models of communication education in Europe. Universities and companies have observed that the media landscape is changing. And both institutions –academia and enterprises- should rethink their goals in terms of up-to- date competences both offered and sought. Therefore, the biggest project objectives involve providing cooperation between higher education institutions
