El uso de las redes sociales: un enfoque desde el periodista profesional de la ciudad de Quevedo.

Abstract

Social media have innovated and revolutionized the way journalism is practiced. It is for this reason that this investigation has determined the use that journalists in the city of Quevedo, province of Los Ríos, provide to platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. In this context, one of the purposes of this study is to analyze the way in which currently the journalistic work entails greater responsibility, and rigor, in the verification and contrast of sources, as information proliferates and flows dynamically on social media. This reality forces the traditional media and their journalistic staff to a constant training, and to be not only more dynamic, but highly efficient.
