Metaevent, Pandemic and media, Communicational ecosystem, COVID-19Abstract
The pandemic is planetary. It does not have a precise start date, nor will it have an end date. It is not an event but a metaevent. The reality of the metaevent imposes itself on us and provides countless information that travels through the entire communication ecosystem. This article discusses features of the metaevent, as well as its consequences in the journalistic coverage of professional media, in its intense and contradictory propagation in the social media and in the appropriations that people make of that information of which we are recipients, but also protagonists.
