Abstract

This monograph deals with eight papers on complementary topics that explore relevant aspects of the transformations that the media ecosystem is undergoing, given that, although it is facing a considerable crisis of credibility and sustainability, journalism continues to play a key role in guaranteeing basic values in democratic societies. In this regard, journalistic activity is a fertile area for the development of innovation linked to the dissemination of original solutions to meet the needs of news companies with new products, processes, professional practices or technological solutions that enable them to generate competitive advantages that contribute to their sustainability and to the improvement of the service they offer to users. Accordingly, it should be noted that journalistic innovation does not only cover aspects related to the product and technology, but also the quality of information and its social and ethical influence, since innovations affect organizations, media systems and behaviour in society. With this in mind, we hope that this monograph will encourage the production of future studies that will continue to broaden this field of research.
