There is something we cannot deny when referring to the time we live in: it is an era in which information is valuable. Its value is related to the speed at which it is transmitted. Contemporanity, a mixture of all the past times with some new carachteristics, appears under the experience of new media and new visual technologies. It is a change in the scope of vision and simulation, different from the modern revolution, which came with the rise of reason and representation. The excess of information is not necessarily good and the excess of images does not make visibility more perfect. This article aims to discuss the role of journalist in this new scenario.Downloads
