Laboratorio de periodismo es una iniciativa de la Fundación Luca de Tena que nace para tratar de cubrir las necesidades de los periodistas derivadas de la transformación del sector, el cambio disruptivo del negocio de la información y la demanda de nuevos perfiles profesionales en entornos en los que dicha formación no está, en la mayoría de los casos, al alcance de los nuevos profesionales.
