Abstract

La información periodística adquiere una nueva dimensión en redes sociales como Twitter. Desde esta plataforma, los ciudadanos debaten y condicionan asuntos hasta ahora reservados a los medios de comunicación. Los periodistas ya no se limitan únicamente a informar. Los políticos disponen de un nuevo canal para comunicarse directamente con los votantes. También los movimientos sociales aprovechan la viralidad de Twitter para denunciar los abusos cometidos por el poder. Para evaluar el alcance de estos cambios en el periodismo y la comunicación política, este artículo examina las estrategias que cada tipo de usuario despliega en Twitter, mediante las metodologías del análisis de contenidos y el estudio del encuadre aplicadas a los casos de #ArdeValencia (incendios forestales de Valencia) y #25N (elecciones de Cataluña). Ambos hashtags aluden a hechos ocurridos en España en 2012. Los resultados muestran que los actores tradicionales en la esfera pública, como periodistas y políticos, tienden a autopromocionarse sin interactuar con terceros, mientras que los colectivos ciudadanos parecen interesados en fiscalizar a la clase política, al menos durante las campañas electorales. Además, se advierte el uso partidista de la etiqueta #ArdeValencia para desacreditar al Gobierno valenciano.

This journal utilizes the LOCKSS system to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries and permits those libraries to create permanent archives of the journal for purposes of preservation and restoration. The publisher perpetually authorizes participants in the LOCKSS system to archive and restore our publication through the LOCKSS System for the benefit of all LOCKSS System participants. Specifically participating libraries may: • Collect and preserve currently accessible materials; • Use material consistent with original license terms; • Provide copies to other LOCKSS appliances for purposes of audit and repair. Fair use of a copyrighted work, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; & 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors. In accord with these provisions, the OBS journal believes in the vigorous assertion and defense of Fair Use by scholars engaged in academic research, teaching and non-commercial publishing. Thus, we view the inclusion of “quotations” from existing print, visual, audio and audio-visual texts to be appropriate examples of Fair Use, as are reproductions of visual images for the purpose of scholarly analysis. We encourage authors to obtain appropriate permissions to use materials originally produced by others, but do not require such permissions as long as the usage of such materials falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.
