摘要：La relativa deficiencia de los cibermedios con modelos de negocio gratuitos ha provocado la exploración y ensayo de nuevos tipos de negocio destinados al pago del lector final. Uno de los aspectos más controvertidos de los estudios sobre la gestión mediática es la confusión teórica entre modelo de negocio y estrategia. Su utilización de modo intercambiable ha significado la aceptación de supuestos erróneos ya superados en la academia sobre estudios económicos y del management . El presente artículo reflexiona sobre la necesidad de aclarar términos básicos del entorno mediático y propone una nomenclatura sobre las estrategias y modelos de negocio de la prensa digital actual. Para ello se estudian una serie de casos paradigmáticos con los que ejemplificar cómo el empleo de un leguaje reduccionista ha contribuido a oscurecer el análisis estratégico de la prensa digital. Concretamente el presente artículo presenta una perspectiva innovadora a la hora de analizar determinadas experiencias de pago por contenidos que la literatura ha calificado como cibermedios y que, sin embargo, está investigación analiza como de alianzas estratégicas entre compañías mediáticas. Most free digital media haven’t been able to make a profit. That situation has forced them to pursue new business models in search of paying readers mostly through trial-and-error tactics. When confronting the academic investigation of this new challenge faced by media managers, one major problem arises: the theoretical confusion between the terms “business model” and “corporate strategy”. Both are often used in an interchangeable fashion and that has resulted in the widespread acceptance among scholars of plain wrong assumptions avoided by traditional management and economic studies. This paper reflects on the need to clarify the basic terms used in the media management environment and proposes an unambiguous nomenclature intended to better serve researchers interested in the field of corporate strategy and business models of the current digital media.
