Abstract
El sector de la comunicación y, en especial, el periodístico sufrió duramente las consecuencias de la crisis económica iniciada en 2008 y está asistiendo, otra vez, a la complicada situación derivada de la pandemia Covid-19. Malas decisiones estratégicas; el descenso de la inversión publicitaria; la excesiva dependencia del sector financiero, o la cultura del gratis total propias de la idiosincrasia nacional son algunas de las causas de la situación de emergencia que arrastra el periodismo escrito en España. A través de entrevistas en profundidad, en este artículo se analizan acciones innovadoras vinculadas a la organización, financiación y producto en el sector periodístico de los nativos digitales El Salto, CTXT y La Marea a modo de case studies. Los resultados se presentan divididos en seis variables de estudio: perspectiva histórica; financiación y participación; diversificación de ingresos; estructura organizativa; valor de marca, y competencia. Aunque los ejemplos analizados divergen en aspectos como la personalidad jurídica, todos coinciden en apelar a un periodismo tradicional, reflexivo y con garantías procedimentales, apuestan por estructuras organizativas horizontales y basan su modelo de ingresos en la suscripción. Son iniciativas que buscan diferenciarse a través de estrategias y marcas cuyas cuotas económicas, financieras y de lectores están indisolublemente ligadas al concepto de nicho.

Bad strategic decisions; the decrease in advertising investment; the excessive dependence on the financial sector, or the culture of total free of charge typical of the national idiosyncrasy are some of the causes of the emergency situation that drags written journalism in Spain. Through in-depth interviews, innovative actions related to the organization, financing and the product in the journalist sector of digital media in Spain are analyzed. Specifically, the cases of El Salto, CTXT and La Marea are analyzed. The results are presented divided into six study variables: historical perspective; financing and participation; income diversification; organizational structure; brand equity, and competition. Although the analyzed examples differ in aspects such as legal personality, all of them coincide in appealing to a traditional, reflective, and with procedural guarantees, they bet on horizontal organizational structures and base their income model on the subscription. The main conclusions show the emergence of initiatives that, faithful to traditional journalistic values, seek to differentiate themselves through strategies and brands whose economic, financial and readership shares are inextricably linked to the concept of niche.
