"The rise of new technologies and new ways of producing and consuming information have significantly changed the profession of journalism. Access to information has become more democratic and has increased the size of media audiences. Digital tools have made it possible to diversify journalistic formats and genres. Media companies, however, have focused on the web without defining their managerial strategy and without investing the necessary financial resources. This has had an impact on journalists' working conditions and welfare at work."
