Desafíos en la formación de los periodistas españoles: convergencia europea, capacitación tecnológica y formación permanente

Abstract

The professional formation of the journalists in Spain is currently changing due to its recent adaptation to European convergence programs and also because of the revolution that the sector is facing because of the advent of new information and communication technologies inside and outside the classroom. This article is part of the still opened debate in the academic and professional area concerning the relevancy of university education of the journalists with an approach to history of the education of the Journalism in Spain and its late incorporation into the university. It is a question of a historicist review that tries helping to deal the current state of the qualifications after the arrival of the new technologies that raise specific challenges: the need of a multimedia preparation of the journalists that goes beyond the technical supports and the exigency of a permanent training.
