Abstract

This quantitative research examines the news tweeted during the first months of pandemic COVID-19 by best ranked Chilean media. Using a discourse analysis, the study identified the linguistic marks indicators and the “seminality” of those tweets, in order to relate the narrative resources to the users’ interaction. The results show the importance of the metatextual and incitator indicators in journalistic narratives to increase followers’ engagement.
