Gamification: a new target for digital journalism

The advance of technology has allowed a turn within the professions. Journalism has not been the exception, since the new professional has to adapt to new platforms, and the important thing is to know how to tell stories under new models, and fulfilling the basic functions of educating and entertaining an audience. "Periodification" combines the concepts of "gamification", which is learning through play, and journalism which is telling the news or stories that cause an effect on a society. In this document we are collecting ideas and explaining the basic concepts to make journalistic work more attractive. Different authors talk about modern communication processes provided by technologies. It is important to emphasize that the theories that led us to an investigation of mass communication, allow us to provide new ideas to tell stories in a different way. Communication has evolved from the horizontal to the circular and reticular. Likewise, the audience we reach is important because it depends on it if the "Periodification" advances or takes a new direction or model of information consumption.
