Expert journalism as an antidote to uncertain times

Abstract

Journalism is seeking the nourishment it needs to reinvent itself and meet the challenges posed by the demands of citizens living in a networked society that moves under the long shadow of high technology in uncertain times. The answer to a multidimensional challenge such as that facing journalism in today’s fluid societies is unlikely to come from the magic touch of a guru or a creator of eloquent phrases, but rather from a collection of contributions which, backed by science, will bring together ideas, projects and solid initiatives capable of fostering a regeneration that propels a new era for something that has been, is and will be journalism in its purest form. And this array of solutions—expert journalism, backed by scientific knowledge—will occupy a prominent place in this ongoing metamorphosis, ensuring the adaptation necessary to survive in a world living under the umbrella of constant change.
