Abstract

The impact of new technologies observed in the media ecosystem have altered some axioms about the role of journalism in contemporary democracies and are promoting the dilution and banalization of the profession. These changes place journalism under the ethical responsibility of re-founding itself in order to continue playing its social role in an increasingly global world. This task comprises strengthening its ties with democracy, defining a core of minimum knowledge and corresponding training paths, as well as adopting organizational and professional representation models in line with its new social responsibilities.
