- About Me
- I'm a 33-year-old digital journalist from Spain. I've been working at online media for the last eight years. The first three I was journalist for a local newspaper's web (lavozdegalicia.es). Then I moved to Terra (terra.es),Telefonica group, where I stayed another three years: first as journalist and later as coordinator of the newsroom (5 people) and as Product Manager for Lottery and News channels. After that I worked one year for Yahoo! Spain (as Information PM). For a year and a half I've been Head of news for ADN.es. Right now I'm working as PM for the redesign of Fresqui.com (a kind of spanish 'digg').

- Share your thoughts about how the newsroom of the future should be different . (And if you do, please post a copy of your answer in the forums).
- The future newsroom will be different because the world is changing. The product is different, and so the profile of the journalists. There will be people with the deep journalist know-how and people with abilities to connect with user's (not readers) needs and interests.
The newsroom of the future not only needs to be a reflection of it's times and how the information is shared. It also needs to answer lots of questions: should the journalist create great content or identify great content already created? Should they be in the street or the 'digital street' is enough? Should they work together or each member can work from wherever and just a little hub-team will put it together? Should the users be part of this newsroom? How should we work with designers, coders and marketing people? Are they part of the newsroom or just part of the media business?
