Resumen

The 40th anniversary of university journalism programs in Spain, coinciding with the mandatory implementation of the Bologna Process, represents a turning point in the curriculum and an ideal time to analyze the educational approach of the new �Grado� degree that will shape the profile of future Spanish journalists. In this context of opportunity, this research proposes a methodology for benchmarking the �Licenciatura� degree and the new �Grado� degree in journalism in Spanish universities. The main contribution of the analysis is that, for the first time, there is a comparison of the curriculum of all 35 university colleges that currently offer both the �Licenciatura� degree and the �Grado� degree in journalism in Spain. The study is based on a quantitative methodology using the content analysis technique that includes specific variables grouped in four lines of comparative analysis: theme, subject matter, type of class and continuity. By cross referencing variables, data are obtained which show various aspects of official educational plans: the predominance of specific areas of journalism and communication or general training, the practical or theoretical emphasis, the distinction between compulsory subjects, core and basic training; and the elimination of subjects, or the addition of new ones related to new technologies.
