Cultural slow journalism in Spanish : Case studies from Spain, Mexico and Colombia

Abstract

This article analyses four journalistic projects focusing primarily on cultural content: Arcadia (Colombia), Jot Down (Spain), Yorokobu (Spain) and Gatopardo (Mexico). The analysis is based on case studies and in-depth interviews with directors and journalists at these media outlets. Among the results, we can see the priority given to a type of journalism with content that is far removed from the agenda of the mass media: literary, cultural, creative, free-thinking, open journalism in which information is narrated from other perspectives. This is innovative, high-quality journalism practice that serves to interpret culture and society in the midst of a profound digital transformation.
