“High tech” is having a noticeable impact on the development of 
journalism and innovation in the sector. The use of Artificial 
Intelligence, algorithms, chatbots, drones, or Augmented Reality (among 
other technologies) are shaping journalistic coverage and the ways that 
content is being produced, presented and distributed. The rapid 
technological change and the subsequent obsession with it often result 
in a lack of critical perspective and a certain determinism that 
prioritizes technology as the engine of communication advances. This 
determinism is problematic because 1) it obscures the fact that 
technology is always changing journalism; 2) it blinds us to the harmful 
effects of technological change; and 3) it promotes the forgetting of 
what remains stable in journalism, despite changes in technological 
modalities. With this information in mind, this dossier is a compilation 
of original studies and research on these issues from a critical 
perspective.

This call for papers is part of BJR's 20th anniversary celebrations and 
features contributions from guest editors José Alberto García-Aviles 
(Miguel Hernández University, Spain) and Suzana Barbosa (Federal 
University of Bahia, Brazil).
