Journalism in tweets. Theoretical-methodological proposal for the practice of digital journalism in Twitter by the mass media

Abstract

This article presents a theoretical-methodological proposal to be implemented in the practice of digital journalism in Twitter by the mass media. The theoretical assumptions are shaped from the qualitative perspective and through the use of Grounded Theory and Phenomenology methods by using the technique of structured and in depth interview for the collection of data and opinions of experts in this field of expertise, who for their part, validate the elaborate proposal. The main result of the research constitutes the preparation of a methodology based on the theoretical foundation proposed, with a synthetic vision between theory and practice so as to have a journalistic activity in Twitter of better quality. This methodology presents appropriate instruments for the information work in this field.
