Journalistic quality in Spain according to the perception of the journalists

Abstract

This article discusses the results of a research on the perception of the journalistic quality by Spanish journalists, taking into account the economical and technological context. The survey, which involved 363 Spanish journalists with at least three years of experience in different media, reveals gaps relating not only to the relevance and the diversity of the topics covered, but also relating to the access to the sources or the treatment and verification of the data, as well as the working conditions or to the challenges arising from the adaptation to new technologies and to the impositions of the immediacy. Together with this portrait general, there are also particular viewpoints depending on the media, the work experience or the post occupied.
