Security and Journalism: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The digital evolution has led journalists to become much more familiar with technological devices in their daily work. Adaptations to the digital world, together with the different cases of information vulnerability toward professionals of the fourth estate, have highlighted the importance of digital information security in journalistic media. This systematic review of the literature addresses the analysis of 13 academic articles collected from the Scopus database that address the topic of digital security and journalism. The results indicate that there is a Spanish-speaking journalistic sector that has implemented digital security tools; however, other companies are truncated by organizational and political influences.
