Latin American Investigative Journalism Education: Learning Practices, Learning Gaps
Schmitz Weiss, Amy; de Macedo Higgins Joyce, Vanessa; Saldaña, Magdalena; Alves, Rosental Calmon
Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v72 n3 p334-348 Sep 2017
This study seeks to examine the state of investigative journalism practices used in higher education in Latin America. Using a meta-theoretical framework called the Community of Practice (CoP), this study seeks to identify whether a particular learning practice exists in this region. Based on an online survey conducted on Latin American educators and students, several gaps exist between them on the techniques and resources used to learn about investigative journalism. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the CoP approach as well as their impact on the profession and investigative journalism education in the region.
