The bionic journalism: strengths and threats to a profession in change
Abstract
Journalism, which finds itself mired in the metamorphosis of the network society, should adopt techniques that allow it to meet the new challenges of complex societies of the third millennium. Although never before have been so many researches on journalism carried out, the application of that scientific knowledge comes too late to the implementation in practice. There is a widespread conviction among media actors that other kind of journalism is possible. Not only is the use of the five senses required, but also the use of bionic devices to enhance professionals´ skills. Bionic journalism is, for now, an immediate future that may offer solutions and anticipate threats.Downloads
