Abstract
El presente trabajo de investigación empírica aborda la cobertura informativa del SARS-CoV-2 en los medios digitales españoles. Se analizan las piezas informativas que mayor alcance/engagement han obtenido en medios digitales con la finalidad de conocer cuáles han sido las variables más destacadas en el discurso de la pandemia. Del mismo modo, se ha realizado un análisis del discurso analizando el tono empleado. Los resultados apuntan que las temáticas más destacadas en los titulares de lo medios digitales han sido la sanidad, la política y la economía. Son estas tres temáticas las que más titulares con tono positivo y negativo han recibido. La variable tono ha sido, a nivel global, balanceada por igual en la muestra total de análisis (mismo número de titulares positivos y negativos). La sociedad civil ha sido el actor informativo que ha acaparado mayor interés en los titulares como objeto protagonista de la información. Al cruzar la variable tono con los actores informativos se ha podido comprobar que la sociedad civil y el Gobierno son los actores que han atraído el mayor número de titulares con tono negativo y positivo. Se ha profundizado en las temáticas que han provocado esa dualidad.
This empirical research paper deals with SARS-CoV-2 news coverage (initial outbreak and expansion) in Spanish digi-tal media. News items published in digital media that have reached furthest on scope/engagement are analyzed with the aim of learning which have been the most outstanding variables in the pandemic discourse. Similarly, a discourse analysis was carried out by looking into the tone employed in relation to the aforementioned variables. Findings reveal that health, politics and economics have been the most pro-minent topics in digital media headlines. These three themes have received the most headlines with both positive and negative tones. Globally, the tone variable has been equa-lly balanced in the total analysis samples (same number of positive and negative headlines). Civil society has been the most newsworthy subject in capturing headlines as the main news’ protagonist. On crossing the tone variable with the news’ actants, we have been able to verify that civil society and Government are the subjects that have attracted the most headlines either with negative or positive tones. Fur-ther work has been done on the themes that have caused this duality.
