Los diarios digitales siguen buscando su propia identidad tras una década de existencia

Abstract

When ten years have already spent since the apparition of the first daily, the design of the cyberjournalism goes acquiring gradually some own characteristics that differentiate it of that of other present products in Internet like the publicity. Nevertheless, the technical limitations that still presents the publication on the Internet involves a high degree of visual uniformity among the different newspapers online. In this way, typographical differences between ones and other electronic newspapers basicly don’t exist. Besides this, almost all the newspapers in Internet use sans serif fonts, just the opposed thing that is happening in printed media. Also the arrangement of the materials is very similar in the web. The way commonest is the “trident”, which shows serious problems with the informative hierarchial structuring. Finally, the image is having difficulties for its total integration in the media online. The own dimensions of the computer screen prevent a suitable combination of images and texts
