CiberSociedad y debate público en 140 caracteres: #paro y #corrupción

In this research we have intended to study whether on Twitter, within a period of time, it has been generated some debate concerning unemployment and corruption and thus, analyze the potential of Twitter a conversational center. The sample analyzed was formed by tweets collected from 02/08/2014 to 04/08/2014: 1,483 of #corruption and 543 of #unemployment. It has been confirmed that the social network has been used mainly to share information about both hashtags #paro and # corruption rather than to interact among users, so it has been developed a mainly communication process unidirectional and not bilateral. One of the first ideas that come from the content analysis is the connection between corruption and unemployment. It might be concluded that the study of tweets is a valuable resource to know public opinion regarding socio-political issues.
