      ab: The experience gained during the last decades in the are of Communication Studies at Anglo-Saxon, Hispanic and Lusophone universities has had three clear consequences: a progressive incorporation of these studies in the majority of higher education institutes in the most developed countries, with different programs and through very different routes; an increase of research within this field; and a growing interest in adapting the education to the new profiles that have appeared in the different media platforms. This has produced a panorama with a good academic offer and with many more journalists with a university degree. The data indicate that journalists' education level has increased, but also that they are increasingly in need of updating their knowledge in order to properly work in today's complex society, and that there is a favorable panorama for the continuing education, a challenge for all communicators of the digital age. Efforts made in recent years in Brazil, Spain, Portugal and Puerto Rico in this field indicate — as I will try to show in this article, which is the result of a comparative study of four cases, especially in the last ten years-a difference, several coincidences and a shared goal: the development of initiatives to improve the curricula with projects of higher quality.
