Highlights
Twitter has more than 330 million active monthly users, with 4.9 million profiles in Spain in 2018
The general results derived from the six thematic categories that make up the study indicate that there are important differences between the sample of generalist media journalists and digital journalists in the number of mentions from areas such as politics, international information or communication content
Based on the results presented above, the research allows us to draw a set of conclusions from the comparison of the thematic areas with special reference to the electoral day and its relationship with the conversations of the journalists included in the two samples on Twitter
Summary
Twitter has more than 330 million active monthly users, with 4.9 million profiles in Spain in 2018. Twitter has become a broad network of news and information (Cervi and Roca, 2017). According to the most recent study carried out by this social network, the profile of the most active Twitter users in Spain is made up of young people with higher education and an above average level of income who give their opinion, are attentive to breaking news and share content. Newman et al (2011) explain that, within the journalistic sector, attitudes towards social networks have changed, especially during the period 2009–2011, and news organizations have adapted to these new formats. Several studies (Neuberger et al, 2019) have confirmed that Twitter is the most developed social network as a professional tool among journalists, indicating a steady increase in the use of this network by journalists worldwide. It is currently estimated that around 80% of journalists in Western societies have an account on this platform (Hanusch, 2018)
