AB At the crossway between information andentertainment, memes and newsgames are some ofthe news formats which, made viral in socialnetworks, complement the informational experienceand compete with the traditional news media inconstructing alternative readings of the real. If in thelight of Bakhtin (2002), journalism can be understoodas a secondary discursive genre that feeds onprimary genres (pp. 61-62), how is one to understandthe circulation of these discourses produced fromjournalistic events in social networks? On the otherhand, how are these narratives appropriated by themedia? What functions do they play in mediadiscourse? In this article we present some examplesof products created from events of political impact.Thereafter, we discuss, by the analysis of a set ofnews stories, how the digital press, in the Iberiancontext, makes use of them. The purpose of thisarticle is to contribute to the reflection on how thenews media relate to these new narratives.
