Abstract

In the past years, the digital platforms have transformed society due to technologies resources and the immediacy with people are ready to communicate. Traditional media such as television, radio and written press have been forced to migrate to new communication media, where individuals no longer only receive information, but also interact, it is no longer enough to disseminate information through traditional media such as television and the press, but rather the subject tries to take center stage by being the one who inquiries about nearby events to disseminate its content in the media. Within this research we delve into what traditional media, particularly television, do with the information given by citizens. In this sense, the work describes the treatment that is given to that information in two television media of national scope, to later transmit it in segments dedicated to community journalism. To carry out this work we have investigated the evolution of the notion of citizen journalism, as well as the ways in which it is integrated into the practice of contemporary television journalism.
