Resumen
The emergence of new technologies has brought a big impact in allsociety aspects but the most important, undoubtedly, has been the change incommunication, since it connects people from any part of the world withsome subject in common. This has been demonstrated, for example, in theTheory of Six Degrees of Separation: The Science of a Connected Age byDuncan J. Watts, sociology expert. Here he tries to confirm that we live “ina small world”. The media is not a missing link in this technological chain,because it has known how to use all the resource that the network creates inorder to spread its information. Today is not possible that a media doesn’thave a space in a social network like Facebook or Twitter, being the lastone the match of all media, because 140 letters is more than enough for aninformative or opinion headline so thousands of followers can be informedin situ.
