Digital journalism walks towards its third decade of life with the duties of consolidating the field and with renewed challenges, which it faces based on the gained experience, the post-COVID-19 context, the prominence of the technological dimension and the need for solid methodologies to analyse the current complexity. The new stage is built on solid research teams in almost all the Spanish universities with Journalism studies, which have advanced following pioneering studies of small groups led by Ramón Salaverría and Javier Díaz-Noci, more than twenty-five years ago. Now, after gain positions in the international context, these teams are carrying out an intense activity that brings constant knowledge. This article analyses this evolution and pays particular attention, based on a Systematic Literature Review in the field of Journalism, to the renewed challenges brought by the application of high technologies —artificial intelligence, virtual reality, 5G, technology blockchain, and so on— to the Journalism.Metrics
