About Me and this Blog

I’m Cristina Fernández Pereda, from Madrid, Spain.

I am currently an intern at Washingtonpost.com World News section while studying a Masters in Journalism and Public Affairs at American University’s School of Communication, in Washington, D.C.

As part of my degree, I’m participating in the course New Media Practices and Techniques, which is leading me to navigate the Web and discover a lot of things about the way it’s affecting journalism.

This blog is part of my effort to discover the use media from other countries are using online applications to cover events and publish information faster than they would through traditional techniques. If you are interested in what media are doing in virtual worlds, you can read my blog about Media in Second Life.

If you want to read a more personal site, I also publish the blog One Way Or Another. On it I share my thoughts, news articles, photos and videos I’ve published and pictures I take. I’m also blogging for New America Media, you can check my entries here.
