The explosion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has affected the work routines of professional journalists. Immediacy, one of the essential characteristics that the ICTs contribute to the practise of journalism, has turned the work of journalists into a race, with the databases contributing to the daily work. At present, journalists handle a great number of references relative to databases and rely on the possibility of access to an enormous quantity of information across the internet. In addition, databases have become a means of structuring the knowledge, content and in many cases even the infrastructure of media communication.
