The author examines how tech giants have transformed information into a commodity, disabling the media's function as a democratic counterweight. Through a contextual journey from 1990 to 2023, the book unravels the causes, effects, and responsibilities of this process, positioning traditional media and journalism as both victims and accomplices of a new era marked by disinformation and lies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses the transformation of the information ecosystem from the 1990s to the present day. It starts from the premise that the Internet, initially conceived as an ally for truth and democracy, has been colonized by tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, or Twitter, which circulate information as a commodity without effective regulation by institutional powers. In this context, the author analyzes how traditional media have lost their political role as intermediaries, while succumbing to sensationalism and abandoning the rigorous interpretation of the world. Through a critical lens, a map of causes and effects is articulated that connects the political, social, and cultural events of the last 32 years with the progressive degradation of the communication system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe transformation of the information industry in the digital age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of tech giants in disinformation and the commodification of information.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe crisis of traditional journalism as a democratic counterweight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between the media, political power, and society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe evolution of the communicative system in Galicia and its global context (1990-2023).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at journalism and communication professionals, students of social and political sciences, researchers in media studies, and readers interested in understanding the dynamics that affect public information and democracy.
