Demotix, periodismo en movimiento

Una oportunidad para conocernos mejor, mañana a las 14:40 (hora peninsular española), en el Canal 24H de RTVE

No son tiempos fáciles para el periodismo. Ni para nada en general ni en particular. Pero aquello de que el hambre agudiza el ingenio resulta ser verdadero en muchos casos.

En un mundo en que las grandes empresas acaparan aún el panorama informativo, nuevas formas de periodismo comienzan a emerger. Algunos con fuerza. Internet es una herramienta con infinitas posibilidades y hay quien les saca buen partido. Los proyectos informativos online, con pocos recursos y muchas ganas –e incansable vocación– , dicho sea de paso-, son a veces –no siempre- el ejemplo de que otras maneras de hacer las cosas tienen cabida.
Demotix es un ejemplo de ello. Somos una agencia de comunicación que funciona como plataforma para fotoperiodistas que pretenden hacerse un hueco en este difícil mundo. Tú puedes ser uno de ellos, a través de este verdadero escaparate para el periodismo ciudadano y profesional al que recurren medios de comunicacion de la talla de New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde o El pais. A nadie se le escapa que la suerte también nos acompaña hasta la fecha –crucemos los dedos para que dure-, y afortunadamente, nuestra repercusión sigue creciendo, gracias al trabajo de mucha gente.

No os perdáis el espacio que el programa 'Cámara Abierta 2.0', coordinado por Daniel Seseña, nos ofrece mañana, sábado, en el Canal 24H de TVE. A partir de las 14:40, hora peninsular. Estamos de suerte: el periodismo genuino, ese que se hace en la calle, tiene voz, futuro y tú puedes participar en él. ¡No te lo pierdas!
