Abstract

This article analyzes the use of Augmented Reality (AR) by TVE and Antena 3, and observes how it has impacted the work of journalists. The study is based on an analysis of the AR pieces that appeared in the evening news programs during January and February 2023 (N = 343), as well as on four personal interviews with the heads of production and anchormen of these programs. The results show that Antena 3 has significantly increased its use of AR, while the public broadcaster's use of the technology has decreased. Currently, AR is mainly used for aesthetic purposes, such as embellishing the news anchor's presentation or enhancing the set's appearance. According to the reporters, AR has changed their professional routines, affecting the way they tell the news and even their tone. They must make an extra effort to maintain their journalistic standards and avoid sensationalism.
