Cyber Journalism: Journal writing’s digitizing, Neo routines and Job stress

Abstract

This paper analyzes the institutional and professional reorganization of Diagonales Journal’s newsroom, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina, in its digitization context since December 2011. Based on deep interviews done to employees and former employees, this paper retrieves the professional experience of Cyber Journalism as part of emerging work routines. At the same time this article aims to approach the personal consequences that these processes have caused to the professionals involved. In this context, we recover some factors that, according to the interviews, have been identified as newsroom's routine stressors during the transition to digital edition.
