A map of the digital media in the province of San Luis

Abstract

The team of the research project PROIPRO 04-0516 “Digital journalism in San Luis: origins, pathways, strategies and challenges” of the Facultad de Ciencias Humanas at the National University of San Luis together with a group of more than 20 collaborators from different geographical sites of San Luis has been able to follow and monitor the development of the mass media in the province, either traditional media (radio, television, print publications) or digital media. In 2010, the first mapping of mass media in San Luis recorded 176 online and offline world media. Today, according to the studies carried out in the first semester of 2016, this figure grew considerably, almost doubling the number, as a consequence of the digital media growth and also because of the opening of new traditional media such as radios, cable channels and printed publications. The data collected attempts to be a reference point for the communication professionals of the province, the region and the whole country. The aim is to understand and contextualize the different province mass media in the online world and to show the plurality of voices, words and media agencies that are built in this provincial territory for the digital galaxy. The Digital Media map of the province of San Luis is under final correction and design tests in order to obtain the ISBN soon.
