Within the research is considered conducting surveys of students of the past two shekels from different universities of the city. Among them are: University of Cuenca, Catholic University, RMUS and UPS. Similarly it is surveyed to graduates of our institution. It was also carried out interviews with professionals in the field, and journalistic media owners, with the purpose of analysing the requirements that must be met by the future journalists and/or communicators in the media. To complement this work a comparison was made with different meshes of the academic career of Digital Journalism, inside and outside the country.
