Content Curation and collaborative narrative on Webjournalism: a study case of Storify in the digital newspaper elpais.com

Abstract

The way to build the informative speech on the network has changed with the development of social networks, from a product made by professionals who place their messages in more or less stable pages (homepage), to a new and complex way of presenting reality that is based on the conversation between different users on network and on the construction of a new discourse based on a collaborative storytelling which it’s possible by sharing links, comments and interpretations in a timeline, establishing a conversation about reality enriched, updated and perfectly contextualized. The use of a narrative collaborative and content management foster the emergence of online platforms, such as Storify, with which we can build social stories regrouping contents from the network and establishing a continuous enriching conversation.
