Previous studies over the past 23 years have illustrated how the journalistic field has embraced innovative processes. While some of these processes were fully developed at that time, others were still in the process of development or implementation. An ad hoc analysis sheet was designed using innovation categories, where each item is assigned a score based on the level of innovation, ranging from low to high. This methodological instrument is proposed for the analysis of high innovation in news websites and it is applied to narratives, data journalism, audience involvement, co-creation, verification, ethics, corporate information and content distribution in the most widely consumed news sites across Europe, the Americas, Asia Pacific and Africa. What is discovered is that there are no more evolved trends in some regions than in others. Nevertheless, European and American sites offer a broader range of options compared to their African and Asian counterparts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
