Abstract
This study reflects on foundations that have endorsed the act of the Supreme Court which considered the requirement of a university degree for the exercises of the profession of journalist unnecessary. Attention is drawn to the fact that the arguments did not take into account complexities, of epistemic nature, which involve the exercise of this activity, especially those stemming from the practice of journalism in the mediatic society. It supports the requirement of the diploma not as a regulatory mechanism, but as a symbolic instrument that, being redimencioned by formative processes, considers that newsworthiness is not just an act resulting from sensitivity and the journalist’s capacity of expression, but from a theoretical and experimental training that is not restricted to the borders of companies. If the news production process results of wider and more complex transactions, the inputs required for the formation of a journalist must contemplate the contribution offered by training and university certification.
