Abstract
ABSTRACT Over the last decade, countries throughout Latin America have faced significant shifts at the social institutional and systems levels that warrant an examination of how the region’s journalism has changed during this tumultuous period. Using a hierarchy of influences approach, this study employs repeated, cross-sectional surveys with Latin American journalists from 20 countries in 2013 (n = 572), 2017 (n = 159), and 2021 (n = 1720) to analyze micro-institutional changes during times of macro-level changes. We identify macro-institutional influences on the shrinking of Latin American newsrooms, consolidation of social media use, and increase of investigative and collaborative reporting. We suggest journalists responded to changes via innovation, shifting editorial lines, transnationalization, and changes in newsroom organization.
