Resumo: Introduction. This article presents the results of the implementation of the teaching methodology designed for the course titled Creation and Management of News Media Companies. Method. The study is based on the direct observation of the students enrolled in the course and their practical course work, as well as an online survey, composed of seven closed questions about the perception of the course. Results. Most students who completed the course evaluated it positively and would consider the possibility of becoming self-employed journalists and creating a news media company, although they also admit that they do not have enough knowledge in business and economy. Conclusions. In addition to confirming the importance of including this course in the Journalism study programme, particularly in the current economic crisis, the article offers some proposals to improve the course and encourage entrepreneurship among students of Journalism.
