The avant-garde newspaper designer, Mario GarcĂa, is fascinated by transformative bets and now he comes up with another magnificent audacity: diagramming newspapers with the visual concepts of mobile phones. "It is fascinating to be fluctuating from mobile to print journalism almost simultaneously", migrating the characteristics of the digital format to the covers and some inside … Continue reading Printed with digital skin
Today's journalism cannot be conceived without news multiformat. The news, unlike years ago, does not die as fast as before. Or rather, it does not lose its relevance from one day to the next; it mutates like viruses, always circulating in different ways to survive and go further. News in text format evolves towards other … Continue reading The different “vessels” of the news
Implementing the digital mindset is one of the most difficult processes that marks the transition between journalism in print newspapers on paper and that of electronic editions.

In this era of audiovisual communication, all the molds that metered the dissemination of news have been broken. The inverted pyramid rule, which organized the writing of the news based on its most important elements (who, what, when, how and why), seems doomed to disuse under current circumstances. Being more audiovisual than textual, the news … Continue reading Changing the ways of delivering news
Despite the long time that social media users spend reading or viewing content, the amount of time spent on individual stories is surprisingly short. On average, digital news reports a time of two and a half minutes. We are talking about texts no larger than five paragraphs of 50 or 60 words each, which is … Continue reading Reading time is shortened
Shaken by the Covid-19 pandemic, the newsrooms have had to hasten the steps toward the remodeling of their logistical and hierarchical frames for news coverage.
