Abstract
La democratización de los procesos de acceso, producción y difusión de información en la Red ha propiciado un nuevo escenario mediático. Dicho entorno está caracterizado por la aparición de los denominados «periodistas ciudadanos», aquellas personas que mediante sus testimonios o creaciones de diversa índole elaboran un material de un alto valor informativo, detectado, seleccionado y editado cada vez más por las cabeceras tradicionales, que progresivamente aumentan su atención hacia materiales informativos creados por la
denominada «web 2.0». Aquellos medios protagonizados por usuarios (foros, chats, blogs, wikis, videologs, fotologs…), los llamados «medios sociales», están generando su propia agenda mediática hasta el punto de condicionar cada vez con mayor fuerza y frecuencia la agenda de los medios profesionales. En el presente estudio se analizan estos procesos en un caso particular y tan signifi cativo como la masacre en Virginia Tech.
The revolution in communications technology has created a highly competitive environment for those who provide news and information to the public. Th e new mass media landscape is characterized by the appearance of «citizen journalists», people who gather information by using cell phones, digital cameras, and blogs to get out word of what they’ve witnessed or heard; peopled that have creating the concept of »Web 2.0». By using digital technologies they can also become news producers and cover a story in ways that mainstream journalists don’t. It is in this sense that conventional media have started to take advantage of the work of citizen journalist so quickly and prominently. Our goal as it is to analyze how citizens covered the Virginia Tech shooting by creating new stories of common interest and determining the media agenda.
