Abstract
VILLA, María Isabel; HERRERA, Jhon Jairo and BAUTISTA, Javier Sneider. Facebook and public radio. The agenda setting during the agricultural strike in Colombia. OBS* [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.2, pp.165lpage=186-. ISSN 1646-5954.
This article presents an analysis of some facebook postings and reviews written by users of Boyacá Noticias, a news programme which belongs to the non-profit radio station Gobernación de Boyacá in Colombia. The case took place in August, 2013, during the Agricultural National Strike when the country went through one of the most important economic and public order crisis in the last few years during the agricultural strik. Through the content analysis, we highlight the topics and messages in order to know the intractions between users and the radio news program directors and the alteration of the agenda setting in the ligth of the public participation. The research concludes that Facebook users got hold of Boyaca news´ wall to post their messages, opinions, appreciations and complaints, but the lack of interaction was notably evidenced between media professionals and them.
