JOURNALISTUTBILDNINGEN

Purpose: To investigate the role of journalism education in strengthening and developing journalistic ideals. Questions: What are the journalistic ideals of Swedish journalism students? How do they compare to the ideals expressed by practicing journalists, and to the reality of journalistic practice? What are the journalism students´ views on the emphasis placed on skills- and knowledge-based elements of their programs? To what extent do they experience that there is, within these components, a critical perspective and encouragement of open discussion?
