“…In addition, at a basic level, the main European countries continued with the same systems for recruiting and training (more professional than academic) in the 1950s and 1960s, making the USA and Europe two separate worlds (Barrera, 2012), as had already existed before the war. Paradoxically, the countries that most formally followed in the wake of the training of journalists at a university level were communist countries such as the Soviet Union and, under its influence, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the German Democratic Republic Harnischmacher, 2019), always under strong political doctrinal control.…”

“…It was not until the 1990s that a second wave changed the panorama in many European countries in a sense of becoming "academic" Harnischmacher, 2019), but that period lies beyond the scope of this study, which focuses on the initial context. However, it does serve as a reference time for some trends that began beforehand and became consolidated, gaining ground on the more "professionalized" teaching of journalism and communication.…”

When the first university schools of journalism and communication started in Spain in 1971, only a few European and North American countries had preferentially adopted an academic model. Variety was their dominant feature, exhibiting diverse professional cultures and sometimes political contexts. In countries with a long journalistic tradition such as the UK, learning on the job was the practice at that time. Labor unions were also prevalently responsible for the training of aspiring journalists in France and Germany. In contrast, in the USA, university journalism schools had been established some decades before. In addition, teaching and research in communication evolved via different paths in those countries that had a more noteworthy influence on Spain. The beginning of university-based schools of communication theoretically contributed to the establishment of a more suitable institutional platform for the delivery of communication research trends in the West. An analysis of historical, political, and institutional contexts converging in Spain in the 1970s is useful to describe how the first university schools were shaped in terms of both their incipient teaching and research challenges. A review of the literature covering both fields in Spain and other countries, along with some previously published archival sources, helps us to frame the case of Spain from a transnational viewpoint that considers the impact of contemporary foreign influences. The resulting broader comparative perspective provides a better overarching understanding of the case, even to the point of measuring the extent to which it can be considered a pioneer in this context.

The article is devoted to the role of higher journalism education as an institution of professional socialization of future journalists. The purpose of this research was to study the ideas of employees of the higher education system about the mission of journalism educators to introduce students to the values of the professional community. The empirical basis of the study was the materials from a series of semi-structured interviews conducted in 2022–2023 with teachers of professional journalistic disciplines and/or organizers of journalistic education from Armenia, Belarus, Russia and Tajikistan. In the self-reflection of journalism educators, assessments of the degree of influence of the education system on the process of forming the worldview of a future journalist, ideas about the role of theoretical disciplines as a source of normative attitudes and a set of ideas that should be included in the ideological core of professional journalism education in the studied countries in accordance with current social expectations were highlighted. In particular, expert from Russia and Armenia called the patriotic education of journalists a key public demand in recent years. In Russia, the education system is only trying to adapt to the new demands of the social environment, while in Armenia the idea of educating journalists in a patriotic way has been implemented for the last 20 years. Experts from Belarus named the defense of historical truth in relation to the role of the USSR as a winner in World War II as a key idea requiring inclusion in the thematic register of journalistic disciplines. The participants of the study noted the need for regular contacts in the educational space of the CIS.
