LOPEZ-MARTIN, Álvaro  and  GOMEZ-CALDERON, Bernardo. World Chronicle and its Adaptation to the Digital Journalistic Environment: The Cases of El País and El Confidencial (Spain). Palabra Clave [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.1, e2414.  Epub Apr 05, 2021. ISSN 0122-8285.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2021.24.1.4.

In the last two decades, the press has undergone a remarkable transformation, motivated chiefly by the emergence of the Internet and its turning into the predominant information medium, which has decisively influenced the configuration of classic journalistic genres. By analyzing 100 pieces published during 2018 in the Spanish newspapers El País and El Confidencial, this research aims to identify the features that characterize world news in the novel virtual environment. The results reveal that the online adaptation of the genre has resulted in incorporating audiovisual material and hypertexts, completing the repertoire of elements traditionally associated with this textual modality, such as the background or the anticipation of future scenarios. In brief, the introduction of cyberjournalism has allowed world news to deepen its informative and interpretive traits, making it a more valuable subgenre.
