Journalism is undergoing a strong restructuring of its labour market due to the consequences of the economic crisis and the technological innovations. Discussions on the search for new formulas for job creation are centred on the emergence of entrepreneurial journalism. Spain is a paradigmatic example of this phenomenon because between 2008 and 2014, 454 news media outlets were created. The rise of entrepreneurial journalism raises many questions and challenges that affect all areas of journalism. One is their introduction in journalism education and the views of journalism students. The aim of this article is to analyse the perceptions regarding entrepreneurship held by those who will be future journalists and who are now receiving their education in the classroom. Our goal is to find out what knowledge journalism students have about entrepreneurship and the skills that are deemed essential. We evaluate the willingness of journalism students to develop their own business project and the major barriers and obstacles. The methodology uses a quantitative approach based on surveys in Spain (N=184). The results suggest an increase of the willingness in students to engage in entrepreneurship. However, students also have a negative and disenchanted view of journalism as they progress in their studies.

The sample includes 188 images published by the top 10 leaders of the Catalan and Spanish political map, both in votes of their parties and followers Instagram. The results show a regular political use characterized by intense personalization and orientation towards professional issues. In addition, a use of spectacular resources is detected, such as emotional appeal, the hybridization of spaces, and the experimentation with expressive filters.

The subjects related to journalistic writing represent a central content of the curriculum in the Degree in Journalism at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) as they are directly related to the acquisition of important professional skills. In this sense, it is possible to define a teaching module consists of four subjects distributed in the second and third year of degree (Genres Journalistic Genres I, Journalistic Genres II, Journalistic Genres of analysis and opinion Journalism, and Specilized Journalism). Beyond its theoretical foundation, all subjects from this module are characterized by their practical approach that seeks to train students in developing professional journalistic content. Consequently, the weight of the practice is in all of them between 60% and 75% of the total evaluation. Furthermore, the successive location of these subjects, and the strong progressive nature of its contents and associated professional competencies demands a remarkable pedagogical coordination for its proper development. From the experience of the first years of degree implementation, this paper provides a methodological proposal for the coordination of the module from three main results: a practice program organized by individual files; a joint evaluation model for the four subjects; and a global schedule that articulates its development along the core courses of the degree.
