Abstract

Computational journalism has burst into the intense panorama of journalistic innovations, due to its great impact potential on newsrooms. Given the recent implantation of this specialty, still in the experimental phase in the newsrooms that have incorporated it, in this work we present an exploratory result on computational journalism, at the same time that we relate it with well-established variations of journalism, such as data journalism. The work has been carried out from the review of the main reports on this matter, as well as from a series of case studies. The results can help both to focus new research in this field, and to complete the panorama of innovation for professionals and researchers in the sector who need to have a global vision of the impact that computer journalism can have.
