Estudiar periodismo: un reto en medio de muchos clics

Abstract

The article addresses the need for the profession of journalist
to redefine itself within the framework of the development of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The author
exposes the increasingly influential presence of citizen reporters,
called neojournalists in the text, and the effect that this causes
in the mass media, traditional carriers of the power of information, its coverage, interpretation
and dissemination. According to his approaches, conceptual
reflection and practical exercise are equally important elements,
since the knowledge and use of multimedia and transmedia tools
are essential in a universe where Internet users carry out many of
the activities once intended for professional journalists, which
causes the latter to wonder about the relevance of communication
faculties in their training process.
