The starting point is a systematic compilation of the official degrees in this field that can be found in the databases of the Spanish Ministry of Universities, as well as a comparative analysis of the existing degrees for two academic years (2020/2021 and 2022/2023).

These postgraduate programmes are primarily internal and offered by private universities. However, our survey of professionals showed that only 7% of communication specialists have training in this journalistic field. Consequently, Spain is one of the countries where data journalism has not yet fully taken hold in newsrooms due to a lack of adequate training and appropriately trained professionals.Universidad de NavarraDepartamentos de la UMH::Ciencias Sociales y Humanas202420242023info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdf15application/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11000/30888reponame:REDIUMH.
