Social and technological dimensions: the renewed strength of journalist profiles for an intelligent automation phase
Abstract
Current journalism revolves around two axes: social and technological. As well as the two faces of Janus, the god of Roman mythology, the two lines are complementary and represent the beginning and end of a process that cannot be understood without relating both dimensions. The digital scene, although it has turned the old profile of the journalist’s romantic professional into a memory, has not buried its social dimension but has enhanced it. Commitments with public service and truthful information now coexist with the computerization and programming that feed the network society. This article analyses, from several studies and work on the state of the art, the threats and challenges of a social communication technique in transformation along with digital modernisation.
