Estudios universitarios de periodismo en España : un análisis curricular

his article shows the results of a quantitative and qualitative study that analyses the Journalism curricula of seven Spanish universities, both public and private, with the highest academic reputation, research impact and employer reputation, according to the international indexes: QS World University and Shanghai Ranking. The competences, thematic groupings and types of subjects are analysed from the curricula of Journalism degrees for a total of 518 subjects. The study notes the lack of subjects on technology and technological skills to balance the curricular content which is often more theoretical than practical. The ethics and deontology of the profession should also be key for future Journalism professionals, together with the necessity to transmit work which is as truthful and as objective as possible.
