Resumen de El periodista creador
Conferencià inaugural del curs 1993-94 dels Estudis de Periodisme de la UPF. Abstract: The development of new communication technologies (television, computer technologies, telecommunications) in our societies has led to a crisis of identity in the profession. Sociologists and journalists such as Dominique Wolton or Ignacio Ramonet warn us of this danger, whereas other authors, such as Paul Virilio, describe an apocalyptic panorama in which the public sucumb to the adverse effects of the computes age, such as the loss of the creative capacity. Against the threat of "denaturalisation" of the function of journalism, the author points to the creative dimension of the journalist and echoes the optimism of the philosopher Feliz Guattari, for whom communication technologies will contribute to reactivating of collective sensitiveness and intelligence.
