- The introduction of digital technologies in journalism has not only brought about a new type of journalist, the so called ciberjournalist, but it has also contributed to modify journalists’ professional practices in traditional media (print, radio and television). More specifically, newsroom digitization, the implementation of non lineal editing systems and widespread internet usage have led to a transformation of productive processes, the rise of professional practices as well as the development of new skills. Many tasks associated with the job of the journalist have been modified from different viewpoints: new tasks are introduced, some of the existing ones are redefined and journalists also take on new roles traditionally carried out by other professionals. These trends have allowed journalists to increase autonomy in the process of documentation, so that their dependence on information professionals and news archives has decreased. This communication provides an overview of how journalists have adopted the roles of information search and retrieval, traditionally carried out by documentalists. It also analyzes the new challenges faced by journalists, their perception of the job of documentalists and changes in their relationship both with documentalists and the documentation centre. Finally, the results are discussed and some proposals about the design of the new documentation centres in the age of media convergence are made.
