Abstract: The present work discusses some theoretical, technical issues that relate to journalism in the process of technological and digital convergence, and in the new setting of journalism within the information and knowledge society particularly in Bolivia, in which professional routines are modified and in which journalistic information competes in wider markets and in shorter periods of time with other kinds of information. This paper situates the Bolivian journalism on a local and global perspective, showing that the participation ofBoliviansjournalists is stillbriefand inconsistent. This work also situates contemporary transformations in the process of emission and reception of messages and data of journalistic value, changes which substantially modify the activity and double the need to reinforce and consolidate a professional culture in the area, and the gap between developed and non developed regions, exposing the importance and utility of Twitter as a journalism tool.

Palabras clave : Journalism; digital convergence; Bolivia; Twitter.
