This article reports preliminary findings of a quantitative secondary analysis of Latin American journalists studies in the period 1960-2007. The temporary evolution of the studies, the country of publication, the type of publication, the most important publishers, the thematic typology of each empirical work, the levels of analyses addressed, and the methodological approaches were described. The results show the irregularity of this type of studies in Latin America.

Keywords : journalist studies; journalism; secondary analysis; scholarly production; Latin America.
