Users’ comments analysis in the Spanish press in the Ley Wert’s debate
Keywords:
comments in news, participatory journalism, participation, users, online newspapers
Abstract
The opinion of many digital Spanish newspapers readers is expressed in comments. This article is a study of the users’ reaction about the ‘Ley Wert’ proposal (during May 2013). The main conclusion showed up from the analysis is: (1) the participation is scarcely supplementary to the professional labour; and (2) it does not contribute, in our study, to the so-called participatory journalism. The study has allowed us to draw the type of participation and discuss its relevance in the referenced Spanish online newspapers.Format
