Resumen

La digitalización y la crisis económica han llevado al periodismo a un nuevo paradigma (Albalad, 2018). Las rutinas y los contenidos se han modificado, los soportes han cambiado, los nuevos modelos son híbridos y los medios generalistas no siempre cubren las temáticas que la sociedad pide (Sims, 2018). Conociendo la tradición y siguiendo la innovación, el periodismo narrativo aparece como una posible respuesta a la situación. El objetivo de este análisis es detectar los desafíos del periodismo narrativo y de los periodistas narrativos en este contexto. Se trata de analizar formatos, rutinas y contenidos de este tipo de medios, estudiar cómo viven digitalmente (Drok & Hermans, 2016) y si son una plataforma de activismo periodístico. La selección de casos de estudio está integrada por tres revistas: Jot Down, Gatopardo y The New Yorker. Su modelo digital, contenidos y calidad literaria son motivos para elegirlos, además de sus diferentes edades, procedencias geográficas y de formato. Con una metodología de investigación cualitativa basada en el análisis de contenido (Voutsina, 2018), la entrevista en profundidad (Johnson, 2002), la observación no participante y la revisión documental, este análisis plantea que el nuevo nuevo periodismo digital es un tipo de activismo periodístico en favor de la tradición del periodismo narrativo, el reporteo y la calidad literaria. El estudio se desarrolla con tres bases teóricas: periodismo narrativo, con autores como Sims (1996) o Herrscher (2012) y periodismo digital, con firmas como Rost (2006) o Domingo y Heinonen (2008).

With a knowledge of tradition, but following the path of innovation, narrative journalism emerges as a possible response to this state of affairs. The objective of this analysis is to identify the challenges facing narrative journalism and narrative journalists themselves in this regard.
