Abstract

The problems that are perceived as the most important by journalists from four Spanish regions: Catalonia, Madrid, Basque Country and Andalusia are reported. Fieldwork using both quantitative and qualitative methods found that precarious and uncertain job security are the issues of most concern to journalists in all the regions surveyed. Of the variables analyzed, age, sex and ideology accounted for the greatest differences in responses.
