Communications Strategist & Journalist
November 2022. OpenAI launches ChatGPT to the public and within two months it reaches 100 million users. No technology in history had ever spread that far, that fast. Not the telephone, not television, not the internet. When that happened, I had already been working on a question that suddenly became urgent: what does generative artificial …
Clarín, La Nación, and Infobae no longer define themselves solely as journalism companies. They are redefining themselves as data and technology companies. That identity shift has consequences that go far beyond corporate rebranding. One of the most significant findings of my research (my master thesis “Between the Human and the Automatic: Generative AI and the …
Every time a new technology appeared, people said journalism would die. Every time, it survived — transformed, but alive. Generative AI poses the same question, but with one difference that changes everything. Argentine journalism was born as many other media in the world, from politic interest.

What I found was more complex — and more honest — than any official position. When a tech company presents a new AI tool for newsrooms, the pitch is always …
Argentina’s digital media outlets have spent two years experimenting with AI in their newsrooms*. What they’ve learned about what to delegate — and what not to — is a roadmap any communications team can use. When Infobae describes AI as its “editorial partner” and La Nación calls it an “assistant,” it’s not just a naming …
Argentina’s leading digital media outlets are learning — the hard way — how to maintain credibility while integrating AI. Their wins and mistakes are a masterclass for any communication strategy. One of the most repeated questions in the newsrooms I studied for my thesis was this: do we need to tell the audience we used …
