Introduction: This paper analyses the pressures that journalism has exerted or attempted to exert from politics. Methodology: The study uses a combination of qualitative methodologies, such as focus groups discussion, and quantitative ones, such as surveys of journalists; both methodologies allows to know how politics influence journalists and how it can limit media instruments of accountability. Results: this study presents the results of an investigation that shows that journalists and citizens share the perception that political influence is one of the main assumptions that affect the development of good journalism. Discussion/conclusion: Although journalists recognize political and government pressures, the study concludes that they do not give in or feel responsible to political parties or governments.

The present article starts from questioning which currently are the most important skills for the exercise of the journalism as a profession. The research is based on the application of an online questionnaire as an instrument to collect data from professionals, teachers, students and academic managers (N=103) complemented by interviews with professionals in the field of Journalism in Spain. The article presents the assessment of the respondents about the usefulness of disciplinary knowledge (knowledge), professional skills (know-how), academic skills and other specific skills proposed in the ANECA White Paper, in its version of 2004. The data has been analyzed using the statistical software SPSS VX. The main results allow us to observe that a relevant assessment is maintained towards traditional skills of the journalist profile, and to these are added others that are in tune with the challenges proposed by the technological and social changes.
