Our analysis of the professional, organization and procedures elements of the Spanish journalistic culture showed greater interference in the routine professional.

Finally, the results highlight that Spanish journalists in their day-to-day work perceive the influences of internal factors closest and most intensively to them. Moreover, Spanish journalists show little support for objective journalism there is greater acceptance of the interpretative value of information. With regards to interventionism, Spanish journalists maintain a relatively active role, showing a certain market orientation. One of the conclusions of this study is that the overall trends and related global influences on journalism are found equally in Spanish journalistic culture. Our goal is to determine if some traditional values such as neutrality and objectivity, as well as perceptions of a journalist’s professional role, are common in Spain and in Western journalism. We based our analysis on the idea of objectivity, professional roles and influences received by journalists in their work. Based on data collected from 100 interviews with journalists in Spain carried out within the project Worlds of Journalism (WoJ), this article analyses the Spanish journalistic culture.
