Historia de la enseñanza del Periodismo en España y Portugaluna línea de tiempo con paralelismos y contrastes

Résumé

Global journalism training is part of an ongoing debate on how to create journalism curricula that provides both critical thinking and adaptation to technological changes. To better understand what is ahead of us, we find it important to review the path behind us, in this endeavour to understand what was left behind and how much countries can learn from each other. Considering the importance of connecting international research, this paper offers a comparative bibliographic review of the evolution of journalism training in Spain and Portugal in the last century, both countries geographically united in the Iberian Peninsula, and could be taken as reference for the Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries of Latin America when it comes to future comparative studies. Through a qualitative documentary review methodology, it provides an update on the state of this subject and a timeline for training milestones grouped into four stages, replicable in studies from other countries: prescientific / political-dictatorial / university / technological transition. Some of the most noteworthy results are the parallelisms in both countries, due to their political and social contexts, and the interest of certain power groups to influence journalistic teaching. Among the notorious differences, there is a greater ecclesiastical influence in Spain and unions play a much relevant role in Portugal, along with a better technological adaptation of Portuguese programs in the first years of the XXI century
