Digital journalism in regional media: technological underuse and network notary

To Understand the transformations of journalistic practices in regional print media based on the use of ICT and its implications in shaping their own agendas was the objective of this publication as a result of a research. This was focused from three categories: media convergence; Newsmaking and Agenda Setting. The study was qualitative with an analytical-hermeneutical approach. For the investigative intervention, 32 people worked on it, including practicing and non-practicing journalists, editors, designers and graphic reporters from two of the main regional media (Diario del Huila and Diario La Nación), which circulate in the south of Colombia.

As a result, not only was found that ICTs have transformed the exercise of news production and the organizational structure, also, in the framework of the Convergence, it was shown that despite the integration into a single platform of news formats, such as T.V. and Radio were characterized by presenting the same journalistic content as the printed one, demonstrating an underuse of the new technological tools and maintaining the verticality of the written press. In relation to Newsmaking, it was perceived that the work of the journalist in the regional media has become a verifier or notary of the selected information. Likewise, the presence of the multipurpose and transmedia journalist was not clear, since on web pages the development of news continues to be artisanal, framed in the immediacy and work efforts of the day, evidencing in the absenteeism of informative multimedia and hyper textuality.

 Finally, in the Agenda Setting, it was observed that despite the scarce interaction between these two media and the prosumer community, the news information published were based, in part, on the messages that were trends in the networks, forcing them to redefine or reconfigure constantly their own agendas.
