English abstract

Twitter and political information in the main digital media: The social network as a source of statements in the Trump era. Based on a sample of articles published by The New York Times in 2017 covering three important political issues, this research quantifies the number of tweets that end being used as journalistic sources. With the president of the United States, Donald Trump, as the main protagonist, the results point to the fact that Twitter statements are consolidated as a content used on a recurring basis also in the most reliable media. In this way, the study contributes to deepen into the changes that the social network has introduced in the use of journalistic sources in the field of hard news.

Spanish abstract

A través del análisis de contenido de una muestra de artículos de The New York Times publicados durante el primer año de legislatura del presidente de EUA, Donald Trump, la presente investigación cuantifica el número de veces que declaraciones realizadas a través de Twitter son utilizadas como fuente por los periodistas. Los resultados apuntan a que la red social se ha legitimado ya como fuente periodística en la prensa digital de referencia y de la información política, más allá de contextos electorales. El estudio contribuye a profundizar en los cambios que la red social ha introducido en el uso de fuentes periodísticas en el ámbito de las hard news.
