Concept
Si una noticia se define, entre otros conceptos, por su pertenencia al presente inmediato, ¿qué se puede considerar noticia dentro de la era de la postinformación en el ámbito de Internet? ¿qué ocurre cuando una noticia deja de ser “noticia”? ¿pasa automáticamente a la esfera de la información y, por tanto, adquiere un estatus de durabilidad, que en otro caso le seria negado?

If in the Internet time and space are “liquid”, that is, perpetually non-permanent, what happens then with the validity of that which is “right now” a piece of news, but not any more after just one second? What happens with national disasters, with social convulsions, with local and tribal wars, with ecological tragedies… all of which, at a given moment, completely hold public attention and help collect thousands of dollars out of our solidarity which will then be used for “good causes”, but all of which are also immediately buried by fresh information? Is it not true that a piece of news should be something more than a mere item for immediate consumption, that it should set off deeper thoughts which might help find solutions for economical, social, ecological problems in the long run?
