Abstract
Propósito. Los cambios en el ecosistema digital han reconfigurado las dinámicas del ejercicio periodístico, favoreciendo la aparición de un nuevo perfil: el periodista-influenciador. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo identificar, definir y analizar esta figura emergente, aún poco delimitada en la literatura académica. Metodología. Para cumplir con este propósito, se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura siguiendo el protocolo PRISMA. Se partió de una muestra inicial de 459 registros en las bases de datos Scopus (n=230) y Web of Science (n=229), seleccionando cualitativamente 64 estudios relevantes. Se utilizaron los programas Rayyan, Vosviewer, Datawrapper y Flourish para apoyar el proceso de análisis y visualización. Resultados y conclusiones. Los resultados muestran que el periodista-influenciador surge de la convergencia entre prácticas del periodismo tradicional y estrategias propias del marketing de influencia en redes sociales. Este perfil se caracteriza por informar, educar y entretener, mientras construye comunidades digitales y ejerce influencia sobre su audiencia. A diferencia del periodista tradicional, utiliza herramientas específicas de las plataformas digitales para establecer una relación directa y cercana con sus seguidores. La investigación concluye que este nuevo perfil representa una evolución significativa en el campo del periodismo, con implicancias relevantes para su práctica, ética y formación.
Purpose. Changes in the digital ecosystem have reshaped the dynamics of journalistic practice, fostering the emergence of a new profile: the journalist-influencer. This study aims to identify, define, and analyze this emerging figure, which remains scarcely defined in academic literature. Methodology. To achieve this goal, a systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA protocol. The process began with an initial sample of 459 records from the Scopus (n=230) and Web of Science (n=229) databases, from which 64 relevant studies were qualitatively selected. The software tools Rayyan, Vosviewer, Datawrapper, and Flourish were used to support the analysis and data visualization process. Results and conclusions. The findings show that the journalist-influencer arises from the convergence of traditional journalistic practices and strategies drawn from social media influencer marketing. This profile is characterized by its ability to inform, educate, and entertain, while building digital communities and exerting influence over audiences. Unlike traditional journalists, journalist-influencers leverage specific tools of digital platforms to establish a direct and close relationship with their followers. The study concludes that this new profile represents a significant evolution in journalism, with relevant implications for its practice, ethics, and professional training. Original contribution. This study offers the first systematized conceptual framework of the journalist-influencer, proposing an operational definition and outlining future lines of research. In doing so, it contributes to the academic understanding of the ongoing transformation of the journalistic role in the digital environment.
