Abstract:
Worldwide audiences became interested in COVID-19-related news,
as the health emergency generated a sharp increase in information
consumption. Drawing on the literature of crisis innovation, this
study aims to understand the transformations that have taken
place in the Spanish journalistic industry and the innovations
implemented during the pandemic. The research questions are:
How has COVID-19 fostered innovation in work organisation in
the Spanish newsrooms? What other innovations were launched
by the Spanish media during the pandemic? The methodology is
based on semi-structured interviews conducted with a purposive
sample of 20 media practitioners and 20 experts on journalism
innovation (academics and journalists) in Spain. Results show that
newsroom practices have evolved through telework,
collaboration and other factors, and that digital transformation
was accelerated in legacy media. In many outlets, the science
section was increasingly relevant, working in a coordinated way
with the areas of data visualisation and design to produce
relevant content. Also, fact-checkers played an important role in
fighting misinformation. The pandemic has speeded up some
ongoing innovations in news production, newsroom organisation,
distribution, and commercialisation in a significant way. Thus,
COVID-19 understood as a crisis situation has had an impact on
news products and it has affected journalistic culture.
