University of Navarra study examines how journalists define their profession's identity

A University of Navarra study explores how journalists defend their profession's identity amidst AI, influencers, and digital fragmentation. The research suggests journalism is defined by its professional ideology, a belief system legitimizing its authority, built on collective memory, defining professional boundaries, and repairing scandals. While these mechanisms create a shared identity, rigid adherence risks hindering innovation and excluding new storytelling forms in the evolving media landscape.
