LOPEZ-PAN, Fernando; RODRIGUEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Jorge e LORENZO-RODRIGUEZ, Ignacio de. Journalism as an Academic Discipline in Spain: A Proposal. Palabra Clave [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.3, e2336. Epub 20-Maio-2020. ISSN 0122-8285. https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2020.23.3.6.
Disciplines within knowledge domains are cross-cutting and shaped by the contributions of cultures and countries. In the field of journalism studies (as in many others), the force of Anglo-Saxon perspectives has outshined other approaches and attempts. Although every tradition -at least in Western culture- intertwines with others, they also have peculiarities that enrich the debate. This article aims to introduce the Spanish-American tradition and, especially, the Spanish one regarding reflections on journalism studies as an academic discipline. The concern for endowing journalism with a disciplinary status has lingered on, particularly because of the passage from schools to universities. Here, in this transition, Spain is characterized by having sparked off a prolonged, intense debate about the elements that define journalism as an academic discipline. Such a discussion has hardly taken place in Latin America. The method is based on a literature review focused on pioneering authors such as Martínez Albertos, Núñez-Ladeveze, and Casasús. Given the relevance of this reflection in Spain, this article elaborates further on the debate and, as a conclusion, brings forward a renewed proposal for defining journalism and describing its subject matter, scope, multidisciplinary nature, and methods.
