Digital technologies in journalism: about credibility and innovation [Articol]

Abstract

The field of journalism and information has always been distinguished from other fields by the speed with which any innovative technology that appeared on the market could be quickly implemented in the daily activity of media institutions. Years from now, these technologies could already be considered implemented in other fields, such as educational, medical, arts, etc. We consider ourselves, however, as being pioneers in the process of implementing technologies in the field we represent. This status did not always come with praise of rigor, but often with critical reactions on the need for their implementation. The article below talks precisely about the transformations imposed by information technologies in our field and the digital skills that we must obtain during the years of study in order to practice in media institutions today. It also focuses on the challenges that educational institutions with a journalistic profile face nowadays.
