Abstract

Intense theoretical discussions have taken part of the Journalism conception. Accordingly, their different definitions and social repercussions have required the evaluation of how this conceptual construction has been taken place inside the classroom. The aim of this study was to evaluate this process during their first academic year. The journalism conceptions described by different textbook authors and journalism students were evaluated through textbook search and questionnaire analysis, respectively. The results indicated a noteworthy variability of proposal concepts by the students; moreover, significant alterations could be observed during the period test. The obtained results allowed the corroboration of the significance of the evaluated textbooks in order to contribute to the student conception construction and the complexity of this process inside the classroom.
