ADOMPRETUR launches journalism internship program

The Dominican Association of Tourism Press (ADOMPRETUR) has launched an internship program to train university students in specialized tourism journalism. The initiative involves four interns from three different institutions: Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD), Universidad Católica Santo Domingo (UCSD), and Universidad Dominicana O&M.

Led by editor José Rafael Sosa, the training sessions are held at the Colegio Dominicano de Periodistas (CDP) in Santo Domingo. The curriculum focuses on producing news, chronicles, reports, and interviews through a tourism-specific lens. The program also includes instruction on using artificial intelligence as a journalistic tool, with participation from experienced journalists and digital experts.
