Los 100 mejores artículos sobre comunicación de 2025
Una selección de artículos desde el boletín Periodismo Digital para entender cómo ha sido el año 2025 en periodismo y comunicación
En 2025, la comunicación no ha sido solo un terreno de disputa tecnológica, sino un espacio de poder. Poder político, poder económico, poder cultural. A lo largo del año, el debate sobre los medios, las plataformas, la inteligencia artificial, la desinformación, la credibilidad y los modelos de sostenibilidad se ha intensificado hasta convertirse en una conversación global permanente. No se trata únicamente de cómo se informa, sino de quién controla los flujos de información, con qué incentivos y con qué consecuencias democráticas.
Esta selección reúne más de 100 artículos que he leído, citado y trabajado a lo largo de 2025 en mi boletín Periodismo Digital. No es un ranking ni una recopilación exhaustiva, sino una selección crítica: textos que ayudan a entender mejor cómo se comunica el mundo hoy, cómo se están reconfigurando los medios y qué tensiones atraviesan el ecosistema informativo. Conviven aquí análisis sobre autoritarismo y libertad de prensa, estrategias de producto y suscripción, el auge del audio y los boletines, el impacto real de la IA en las redacciones, la crisis del tráfico, la economía de la atención y las nuevas relaciones entre periodistas y audiencias.
El criterio ha sido claro: relevancia, profundidad y capacidad explicativa. Son artículos que aportan contexto, método o perspectiva; que van más allá de la urgencia y ayudan a pensar el oficio, la industria y la cultura comunicativa en un momento de cambio estructural. Leídos en conjunto, funcionan como una cartografía del año: fragmentaria, diversa y a veces incómoda, pero necesaria para orientarse en un ecosistema cada vez más complejo.
