Tuits políticos como nuevo ejemplo de periodismo cínico basado en declaraciones. Un estudio comparativo del avance de la extrema derecha en Andalucía

Zusammenfassung

Digital platforms have changed the traditional cycle of political information. In this context,journalism is characterized by collecting political statements, moving away from its socialfunction of providing keys for understanding the facts. A question of interest is whether Twitteracts as a sounding board for a journalism based on statements, rather than as a directcommunication channel between politicians and citizens. For this reason, the objective of thisresearch is to analyse the interrelationship between journalism based on statements and politicalcommunication on Twitter, within the framework of the Andalusian regional elections held in2018. We study the effects of the emergence of a far-right movement on the communication flowof the rest of political parties, putting the focus on the similarity of its messages with thediscursive media polarization. Through content analysis, a preference for non-issue contents isobserved in the campaign.
