Enrique Alejo stated that “the information model has changed as a result of digitalization,” and added: “From the traditional distinction between informing, training and entertaining, we have moved on to the synthesis of all of them, where information is now also training and entertainment at the same time.” These changes "force a new positioning of public service media, such as RTVE, in information services, which must be based on the 4Cs: conversation, citizenship, credibility and creativity," he concluded.

Furthermore, at the meeting they talked about one of the fields in which they will work next year: the mobile journalist. This is a new advance in mobility for news, either with a professional camera or with a phone camera, but using 4G technology to send the images. The TVE Center in San Cugat is studying to cover the next edition of the Barcelona Manga Fair with this technology, and plans to teach a mobile journalist training course.
