    Los recientes cambios en el entorno económico, social y tecnológico han supuesto un fuerte impacto en la carrera de los profesionales de la información. Mientras que por un lado aparecían oportunidades y nuevos puestos de trabajo, por otro lado los despidos en los principales medios hacían pensar que el resultado neto era negativo. Este artículo analiza los principales cambios en el entorno, las fuerzas más relevantes que afectan a oferta y demanda, así como su impacto en los profesionales de la información. Finalmente se plantea que algunos de los supuestos cambios de paradigma radicales en el mundo de los profesionales de la información no son conceptualmente tales.

    Recent changes in the economic, social, and technological environment have impacted the careers of information professionals. On one hand, new jobs and opportunities have appeared, and on the other hand, layoffs in mainstream media companies indicate that the net impact has been negative. This article attempts to analyze the most important changes in the media environment, the main forces affecting supply and demand, and the impact of changes on the careers of information professionals. Finally, we propose that some of the new radical paradigms in the world of information professionals are not conceptually new.
