Abstract (EN): The journalistic profession is facing a time of change, experimentation and restructuring. One of the main driving forces behind the changes in newsrooms today is media convergence. European universities face the challenge of adapting their curriculum to fit the new educational, economic and professional environments. How are higher education institutions anticipating the changes that media convergence is bringing? What is the profile of the young trainee journalist? Is it the same one the industry is demanding? The book Shaping the Future of News Media, edited by the Integrated Journalism in Europe (IJIE) consortium, is a concluding compendium of reflections from the participants in the International Conference on Integrated Journalism Education, Research and Innovation, held in Barcelona from 17 to 19 June 2015. The book explores two broad areas: the challenges on new practices of news production and the challenges in the field of journalism education. The relevant issues examined by the contributors include intellectual property, data visualization, audience participation, computational thinking and innovative experiences of journalism training at university level.
