Abstract

In this paper, we aim to analyze and compare the use of hashtags for coverage on Twitter by a journalistic and a satirical website during the 2014 FIFA World Cup: the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, which used the hashtag #EstadaonaCopa for the coverage on social network sites, and the satirical site O Bairrista, which adopted the hashtag #BairristanaCopa. The study was conducted by combining observation and social network analysis as methods, in order to understand the network structure and dynamics of their respective hashtags. Results show similar network structures, but different dynamics observed in each of the cases studied.
