The emergence of Internet has truly altered fashion journalism, changing the modus operandi of the journalist, the forms of operation of the newsroom, the production and the presentation of news content. This dissertation pretends to understand and interpret the changes that fashion journalism suffered in Portugal after the emergence of Internet, focusing mainly on women’s press with fashion contents and fashion magazines. This research comprises two main parts: the first corresponds to the theoretical framework which is supported by relevant literature; the second part includes the presentation of the empirical work and the interpretation of the fourteen semi-directive interviews with professionals that have shown relevant experience in the area of fashion and fashion journalism. The main findings prove that Portuguese fashion magazines showed resistance to the Internet at the time of its emergence. However, recently, newsrooms have slowly been adopting digital media which has increased fashion journalists’ productivity and created a new kind of journalism – the online journalism. This change has also led to new challenges for print publications, especially in terms of editorial selection. Moreover, the Internet has led to the formation of a new professional class that is also committed to the production of online fashion content – the bloggers.
