Los usos de Twitter en las crónicas simultáneas
Abstract
Simultaneous chronicles, also known as live blogs, consist on written journalistic texts that are produced at the same time as the event they talk about takes place. The use of Twitter as a reporting tool from the news scene, allows them to create an enunciative scenography that has no parallel in traditional or retrospective news. Rather than to anything seen in previous products of written journalism, the result resembles the live “first hand” reports that have always been the hallmark of broadcasting mass media such as radio and television. Based on a semiotic approach, this paper analyses The Guardian’s coverage of Vladimir Putin’s speech following the Crimea referendum in 2014, and examines both the enunciative dimension and the sequential organization of the chronicles’ posts that result of an unexpected fact reported originally through Twitter.
