CABALIN, Cristian  and  LAGOS, Claudia. Journalism Education and Globalization in Chile: Issues and Challenges. Signo pensam. [online]. 2012, vol.31, n.61, pp.158-170. ISSN 0120-4823.

The present article, based on a quantitative and qualitative approach, reflects on journalism education in Chile in a global context. The effects of globalization related to the introduction of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the precarious working conditions pose difficulties for training future journalists. Moreover, the political and cultural consequences associated with globalization phenomena, such as the strengthening of democracy and multiculturalism, increase the demands of social responsibility for the practice of this profession. Journalism education must assume these challenges as possibilities and apply a capabilities approach to education.

Keywords : Journalism Education; Globalization; Multimedia; Multiculturalism; Capabilities Approach; Journalism, Chile; Globalization; Cultural aspects.
