Abstract	As in other disciplines, 'gender mainstreaming' is becoming an increasingly important principle in Journalism. This implies bringing gender equality into the mainstream of the media industry, by means of an adjustment of the educational issues and the practice related to this profession, which is influential in society. In light of the gap existing in this line of research committed to re-education for change [North, L. 2010. "The Gender Problem in Australian Journalism Education." Australian Journalism Review 32 (2): 103-115; Adhikary, N. M., and L. D. Pant 2011. "Journalism Education in Nepal: Gender Perspective." Shweta Shardul 8: 119-123], this paper analyses the curricular integration of gender-related issues into journalism studies, taking as a casestudy the undergraduate programmes of the Spanish public and private universities. The study employs content analysis and qualitative questionnaires to the academic staff. The results prevent from understanding equality as one of the main teaching and learning strategies in journalism studies in Spain, even if the invigorating curriculum reform carried out by these universities leads to posit some positive outcome in terms of a more gender-aware higher education. As discussed in the conclusions, the inclusion of the gender perspective depends on the academic staff's own initiative, in contrast with the involvement showed by university institutions in promoting parity in many other aspects.
