Ethics of journalism at Pompeu Fabra University
The Researchers on Ethics, which feed this website are all members of the Journalism Research Group (GRP) which operates within the Communication Department of the UPF (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). A relatively young public university (founded in 1990) it has an excellent record both as regards the quality of its teaching and research.
The GRP has four main research areas: the history of journalism with particular attention paid to the role of the media during the Spanish political transition from the Franco dictatorship to democracy; newsroom convergence and the implications of this unstoppable tendency as regards production routines and the quality of information; news documentation and dynamic databases; and finally, journalistic ethics, a field to which this research project obviously belongs.
