This article focuses on the positions held by academic institutions (SBPJor, FNPJ and Compós) regarding the proposal of National Curricular Guidelines for Journalism Courses in 2009, and also addresses the background of this discussion process. It touches on aspects of the debate held at the end of the 1990s on curricular guidelines for So-cial Communication. The objective is to qualify education after the initial phase of minimum curricula. It analy-zes arguments around edu-cation and identity of cour-ses in this field, as well as underlying disputes that have resulted from this process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on a research carried out with the Journalism courses of Curitiba and Ponta Grossa in Paraná on the treatment of gender issues in vocational training, the article discusses gender theme based on the New Curriculum Guidelines of 2013, which guide the pedagogical projects of the institutions. A description of teaching, research and extension practices, resulting from questionnaires applied with coordinators and teachers of courses from seven institutions (Federal University of Paraná, Positivo University, OPET Educational Group, Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná, University Center Autonomous of Brazil, Ponta Grossa State University and Secal Colleges), is presented with the intention of highlighting the importance of the theme in journalism training.

This paper aims to understand how the humanistic foundation, expressed in axis 1 of the national curricular guidelines for the undergraduate Journalism course, is contemplated in the curricular structure of the Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, in Brazil. We work with the concept of humanism in Said (2007) and the humanistic definition contemplated in axis 1 of the guidelines, drawing from this relation three categories of analysis, which served as the basis for the selection and interpretation of the nomenclatures and menus of the disciplines. It was possible to identify eleven disciplines that contemplate aspects of humanism among the 45 of the curricular structure. Although theme of humanism in the curricular guidelines is contemplated in a axis, it is transversal and appears in disciplines of other axes of the guidelines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The undergraduate courses in Journalism go through significant changes, especially in recent years. Among them is the implementation of the new curricular guidelines for higher education, going through the debates around the characteristics of the laboratory newspapers. There is a process of readjustment of the offer of higher courses, partly due to the lack of obligatory graduation for the exercise of the profession. Another aspect is that due to the decline in circulation of printed newspapers in several countries and especially in Brazil, there has been a growing debate on the need for printed laboratory materials. The text proposal presents a map/survey, accompanied by reflection on the situation in Paraná from two indicators: how many and which journalism courses are in operation; and the existence or absence of a printed laboratory-journal. The perception is that graduations are decreasing the supply of printed laboratories newspapers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
