English abstract
Introduction. Social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Menéame, etc. have become a reference for the digital press. Therefore, news producers wish to position themselves in such systems to gain visibility and to increase traffic to their Websites. This paper proposes two bibliometric indicators to calculate the presence and impact of the press in social bookmarking systems, providing both qualitative and quantitative measures. Method. The Weighted Comments Impact (ICP) is proposed as an indicator of the impact of a news medium over a month, and the Media Power Factor (FPM) is proposed as an indicator of the overall impact of a news medium over a month. To validate these parameters, a longitudinal retrospective descriptive analysis of the content of news sent to the Menéame social bookmarking site over sixteen months has been carried out. Results. The validation of the Weighted Comments Impact shows that the digital medium which has reached the highest average value is El País, followed by 20 Minutos and El Mundo, which is consistent with the overall ranking of comments received. The validation of the Media Power Factor, however, indicates that 20 Minutos is the digital newspaper with the highest value, followed by El País and El Mundo. Conclusions.The main finding of this study is that the parameters proposed are valid for calculating the degree of impact of the digital press in a social bookmarking site.
Spanish abstract
Introducción. La prensa digital quiere posicionarse en los Gestores Sociales de Noticias o GSN (Digg, Menéame, etc.) para ganar visibilidad y aumentar el tráfico de sus webs. Este trabajo pretende proponer unos indicadores bibliométricos que calculen la presencia e impacto de la prensa en los GSN. Método. Se propone el ICP (Impacto de Comentarios Ponderado) como indicador del impacto de un medio a lo largo de un mes a partir de los comentarios recibidos, y el FPM (Factor de Poder del Medio) como indicador global del impacto del medio a lo largo de un mes. Para la validación de dichos parámetros se realiza un análisis de contenido descriptivo longitudinal retrospectivo de las noticias remitidas al GSN Menéame durante 16 meses. Resultados. La validación del ICP muestra a El País como el medio con mayor impacto en comentarios, seguido de 20 Minutos y El Mundo, hecho que concuerda con el ranking de comentarios totales recibidos. La validación del FPM, en cambio, indica que 20 Minutos es el medio con un valor más alto, seguido por El País y El Mundo. Conclusiones. Los parámetros propuestos son válidos para calcular el grado de impacto de la prensa digital en los GSN.
