Abstract
This study analyses the professional profiles of journalists in the three main news agencies in Catalonia by comparing the multitasking of the Catalan News Agency (ACN) to the specialization approach taken in the Catalan offices of the Spanish EFE and Europa Press (EP). Although still controversial, the ACN has a more cost-effective organization as a result of working with multiskilled employees, i.e. journalists that must carry out many different tasks simultaneously, compared to the EFE and EP model, which employs photographers, camera operators, and specialized writers in an effort to prioritize the quality of the final product.
