La identidad del periodista en el futuro Estatuto profesional, entre la confusión y la desprofesionalización

Abstract

Since 2004, the Forum of Journalists Organizations (FOP) tries to make out in the Congress a professional Statute for the journalist in Spain, that does not count nevertheless on the endorsement of the greater organization of journalists in the country: Spanish Federation of Journalists’ Associations (FAPE), who tries to agree to an alternative text with the School of Journalists of Catalonia, the second organization in number of affiliates. This article approaches the changes undergone in the proposals of the different organisms, as well as the substantial differences that separate them. All this analyzed on the light of the requirements that a true professionalisation of Journalism makes necessary.
