ABSTRACT

The present book is the result of the line of research called /Academic 
and Professional Field of Communication in Cuba///that is developed at 
the School of Communication of the University of Havana since year 2005 
as well as of its national and international resultant academic 
collaboration that has brought about the participation of different 
academic networks.The objectives of the study are: 1) to identify and 
describe the professional ideologies of the journalists that work in the 
Cuban media;2) to determine the perceptions, strategies, norms and 
shared values of journalists in Cuba; 3) to establish the sociocultural, 
political, economic and institutional influences perceived by 
journalists in Cuba; 4) to describe the idea journalists in Cuba have 
about the regulation and self-regulation mechanisms of their 
professional guild.


The book is divided into two different parts. The first one has four 
chapters that describe the concepts of profession, field of 
communication and journalism, and professionalization. Apart from this, 
they analyze the structures, processes and contextual levels that 
determine journalism as a trade or profession. Accordingly, the 
professionalization of the journalistic practice, based on the level of 
professionalism of the journalists, examine (self) regulation factors, 
journalistic ethic, self-perception and social representation of 
journalists, as well as the role played by the academy in the education 
of the future professionals, etc.


They also analyze the concepts of culture and professional ideology 
based on their epistemological origin and the different perspectives 
that have addressed them. Then, we discuss in depth the processes of 
intermediation in journalism that lead to foundation and consolidation 
of a common ideology –or not- within a specific context that could be 
defined as the professional culture of a guild.


The second part of the book makes, first, a contextualized theoretical 
analysis of the state of journalism and journalists in the country; 
secondly, a dialogical reconstruction of the results of the interviews 
made to a sample of journalists and, thirdly, the analysis of the 
bibliographic information obtained by means of other studies and 
previous reports.
