New information methods: data journalism and its teaching in the university context

Data journalism is a journalistic specialization which is growing by the hand of Information and Communications Technology. In this descriptive research we will explain what this concept exactly is, what its historical roots are and we will see some examples made to their guidelines. In addition, we will pay attention at the main masters and postgraduate courses, in Spain and in other countries, which include it in their curricula. We will observe how Spanish educational offer in this area is insufficient.
