Abstract

The article discusses the various conceptual issues involving Cultural journalism as a result of the proliferation of virtual spaces of criticism. As a consequence, the system of credibility with which the genus has built its presence in the public sphere seems to be called into question both within the professional activity and in public references. The dilemma, which leverages the difficulties faced by genre historically, suggests a review of theoretical assumptions on which the journalistic practice of critique of culture sits.

Key words: cultural journalism, digital technologies, public sphere.
