Since last September, Júlia López (Barcelona, ​​1994) has been one of the voices accompanying family meals on weekends. After stints at Betevé, La 2, and Canal 3/24, the journalist has joined the show as a presenter, airing Saturdays and Sundays. Midday news of 3Cat.

On Wednesdays, at ten o'clock at night, La 2 broadcasts again First look, a documentary series in which Lara Siscar interviews journalists to discuss their careers and reflect on the profession. The effectiveness of each episode depends, above all, on the interest aroused by the protagonist. On the RTVE Play platform, some episodes arouse curiosity and others that you don't even bother to start. The second season kicked off with a double broadcast. The episode dedicated to Silvia Intxaurrondo is well worth a look. Beyond learning about the professional career of the best political interviewer currently on the television scene, the program allows you to discover the behind-the-scenes of political pressure, electoral interviews, and the effects they have on the results. Intxaurrondo interviewed Alberto Núñez Feijóo during the campaign for the 2023 general elections. That broadcast on La 1 had a stellar moment that went viral and caused a lot of tension in multiple offices, both at public television and at the headquarters of the Popular Party. When the journalist asked him about pensions, Feijóo asserted that his party was the only one that had never stopped revaluing them with the CPI, the exact opposite of what the PSOE had done. Intxaurrondo interrupted him: "That's not correct, Mr. Feijóo.", and corrected the information based on the verified documentation she had available. It was a very tense moment, because the politician urged her to review the data and demanded that she correct it. But he was the one who ended up apologizing on social media and admitting the error. Since then, Intxaurrondo has been the victim of campaigns discrediting her as a journalist. First look It reveals to us what happened around this circumstance beyond the screen.

One of the numerous controversial changes that TV3's newscasts have undergone concerns attire: the presenters have abandoned an item of clothing that, for decades, seemed indispensable for projecting seriousness: the tie. Today, this item of clothing is normalized and hardly surprises us, although at some point we may wonder what the point of wearing a cloth tongue hanging from the neck is. In any case, there is quite a bit of history and meaning behind this element, which has evolved in both form and function.

On Tuesday, the Evening news echoed Donald Trump's speech at the United Nations. After the anecdotes sparked by his presence in the building and his defiant harangue to the international community, the news program delved into the lies the US president had uttered. A video emphasized that not all of his claims were true and analyzed each case: the seven wars he supposedly ended, the climate change scam, or Europe's path to hell. All were analyzed and contrasted to show the manipulation in Trump's rhetoric. A very good journalistic approach that goes beyond simple informational inertia and gives the viewer perspective.

We have already been able to see all the editions of the Newscast and appreciate their characteristics without the pressure of initial exposure. There's one aspect that TV3 has reinforced in this new era, one that's common to many other television channels and that's part of a long-standing inertia. It has to do with the new presenting duos. In the midday edition, we now have Xavi Coral with Anna Garnatxe, and on weekends, Júlia López with Joan Raventós. Both television couples have one thing in common: their age difference.

A facelift for TV3 news. Or 3Cat. Or 3Cat Info. Because the renovations are accompanied by a somewhat disconcerting jumble of names. Toni Cruanyes, after an afternoon tour of The jungle and theIt's happening, finally inaugurated the long-awaited set with cutting-edge technology. The changes are much more significant behind closed doors than for what the viewer sees at home. The result substantially improves the previous format, which was in desperate need of modernization. There is a greater sense of spaciousness, vertical screens to provide a sense of dynamism, somewhat whimsical platforms, and a smooth white floor. The color scheme is reminiscent of that of the Collapse and the orange background transparencies are reminiscent of those of OvernightThe approach is by no means groundbreaking or pioneering, but rather follows the lead of the major European television networks. On Monday, they seemed to display a display of possibilities, but it remains to be seen whether they will be put to good use in practice. In the afternoon edition, a change in tone was also noticeable, with an effort to be more explanatory and with a more in-depth news report. This inertia returned to its usual form at midday. The presenters sport a more sober style, and the men have lost their ties in this quest to relax formality and naturalize the symbolic relationship with the viewer. The weather map has diluted the regions, homogenizing the territory and losing geographical references. However, the typography will have to be enlarged because it's barely legible. The white table of midday and More night It has the feel of a private clinic reception area. A partial cosmetic surgery, by the way, because In the mornings Ariadna Oltra's projects remain the same as before, beyond the graphics.

Ramon Pellicer said goodbye on Sunday night to the audience that has followed him for more than twenty years as host of the TV3 news programs. The journalist leaves the Weekend newscast, where he had worked in front of the cameras for twelve years, and is leaving with his set colleague, Cristina Riba, who will also no longer present that news program. His departure is part of the changes TV3 has made to the news services, which will bring in new faces.

"Looking for a professional expert in data analysis, mining and management, algorithms, artificial intelligence, and software development." This phrase pretty much sums up the advertisements that companies seeking professionals in big data They consistently post on job portals. It's a common subject to appear in the rankings of the most in-demand and highest-paid jobs in the world, in the field of information and communications technologies. "There are statistics that tell us that the position of technology expert in data management is not only one of the five most difficult positions to fill today, but will continue to be so in the future," Joan Navarro Martín, academic director of the Master's Degree in Big Data at La Salle-URL, told ARA.

Silvia Sivera, a professor at the Faculty of Information and Communication Sciences who currently directs the UOC's eLearning Innovation Center (eLinC), analyzes the future challenges facing education. Her mission is to promote pedagogical innovation in online learning by using data obtained within the institution itself to benefit innovation and contribute to improving the quality of teaching.

For over a year now, it's been possible to board flights at El Prat Airport without having to show any identification: just hold your face up to a camera. Biometric technology—similar to that used to unlock a mobile phone with a user's face—is increasingly present at airports around the world to streamline checks and improve security. While, for now, Barcelona is only offered by Vueling on some connections and upon passenger request, a study by the airline organization IATA reveals that, by 2024, 46% of travelers will have already used this technology at some airport around the world. Furthermore, 73% say they prefer this system to having to show their passports or boarding passes to staff. But what does all this have to do with the agricultural professions of the future?

"A university degree is an essential requirement for companies that have hired recent graduates, unlike a master's degree, which is not perceived as an essential requirement." This is one of the notable findings of the latest report from the Catalan Agency for University Quality (AQU). It is a survey of employers on the training of university students. "One of the fundamental missions of higher education is to promote the employment of graduates," the AQU points out in the introduction to the document. "However, several studies point to a mismatch between university education and the real needs of the labor market, either due to a lack of specific skills or a shortage of graduates in certain fields," it warns.

A blue logo with the acronym AQU and two words: "Favorable Accreditation." This is the seal that people interested in studying for an official bachelor's or master's degree in Catalonia often see when looking up information. But few know exactly what it means. It's the seal of the Agency for the Quality of the Catalan University System (AQU Catalunya), the body responsible for evaluating, verifying, and accrediting higher education. Its objective is clear: to ensure that the country's university offerings meet European standards and respond to social and employment needs.

The fifth study of the Barometer of Skills and Occupations of Catalonia by Pimec and the UOC highlights soft skills, soft skills that the labor market considers essential. The report details that up to 76.8% of job vacancies require mastery of some soft skill and up to 28% require mastery of some advanced digital skill.

Inclusion and attention to diversity is a sector of education that requires increasingly personalized specialization to eliminate barriers for young people with special educational needs. The goal is for everyone to have the right to the same learning opportunities, regardless of their social and cultural background or their skills and abilities. Catalan universities offer master's degrees that emphasize improving educational services for all children and young people, a sector with growing demand.

The Catalan university system has a very solid offering of master's and postgraduate programs, but the key to its success is its ability to evolve and adapt to the new demands of a constantly evolving market. Programs need to constantly reinvent themselves to respond to the new demands of a constantly changing society. These are some of the most notable developments for the 2025-26 academic year.

On Tuesday, in Evening newsToni Cruanyes announced: "And now a technological note for Apple fans and the rest of the sector." It was about the upcoming release of the new iPhone 17. "Tim Cook has presented the different versions of the iPhone 17 through his YouTube channel. Among them, a prominent place has been reserved for the iPhone Air, the thinnest and lightest in its history." The images to complement the news were from the brand's presentation videos, where we could see, slowly moving, the new phones with their sinuous shapes and the usual striking colors. They are very tempting images that seem to confirm that all those magical dystopias that we imagined were far away will finally be in our pockets. Cruanyes continued reporting: "We were also able to see the new range of smart watches and headphones." And, finally, some service information for viewers: "They will be available for purchase starting September 19." In the images, we saw how Apple's presentation also alerted us to the possibility of ordering them from that moment on.

On Thursday at noon, the News explained a scientific breakthrough: a new test that predicts the likelihood of metastasis in the most common form of breast cancer. The discovery is not only a step forward in the field of personalized medicine but also unique: the improved prognosis doesn't involve taking a new drug, but rather stopping a regular drug to prevent osteoporosis.

All the news channels are reporting on the calls that extremist groups are making to hunt down immigrants in the Murcian town of Torre Pacheco.Torre Pacheco is a powder keg", warned in the headlines ofAntena 3 news Presenter Sandra Golpe. The introductory video presented the conflict from the equidistant position of each other, with action music that transformed the attacks into a fast-paced video clip. "Although most immigrants were born there or have lived there for years, some residents say they have not yet adapted."said a reporter. And they included the statements on the street of two women: "They don't have a job and they spend all day on the street because they have nothing else to do.", said one. "They are problematic and give rise to insecurity.", another neighbor claimed. A reporter expanded on the names, symbols, and details of the extremist groups (including Vox) that are calling on their followers to fight. The violence that far-right groups and local residents had perpetrated against other residents of Moroccan origin, spurred on by the attack on an elderly man. Newscast, featured the voice of an expert journalist and researcher of racist attacks, who warned of the links between these stories and false information and videos. It also included statements from the head of RTVE's Verifica department, who explained how these cases are breeding grounds for further spreading racism and lies on social media. Telecinco News They also focused on the outbreak of racism caused by the initial attack on a seventy-year-old man from the town. However, in Antena 3 news They had already reported this case the day before, on Friday the 11th. "A 70-year-old neighbor was attacked horribly for no apparent reason. A group of young men attacked him and severely injured him with kicks and punches.", Golpe stated, disclaiming responsibility for the news. And he closed the headline. "And rallies promoting hunting are already being organized.". It was added that the aggressors "They could be Moroccans", in the conditional. And on two other occasions they recalled the call for hunts against immigrants.

In recent months, something has changed in the way we read without us even realizing it. And I say "read" and not "search for information on the internet" because I don't know a single writer or artist, even those in their seventies surrounded by a venerably analog aura, who doesn't log on to the internet every day to see how the world is doing. And it turns out the world is increasingly empty of people and more filled with stochastic parrots. "Stochastic parrot" is the nickname we use to try to diminish the authority and propaganda that dominates the great language models of artificial intelligence like ChatGPT: "parrot" because they regurgitate the work of others and are only capable of repeating what someone has already said; "stochastic" because the mechanism that makes these models guilty of what these things are is not a process of logical reasoning, but one of chance artificially introduced into the choice of words. But, although this robotic parrotism is perfectly familiar to us and we instinctively despise it, we use it. For a few months now, newspaper traffic has been plummeting because we're asking ChatGPT for things we used to ask publications written by human writers. There's a bubble of inhuman readings that we should burst.
