Nowadays in Spain, social media is making popular a type of journalism that we could describe as provocative.<\/p>\n
What is provocative journalism and why it is so successful?<\/big><\/p>\n This type of journalism consists of making the person to whom a question is directed uncomfortable or provoked<\/strong>, in order to generate a reaction. Unlike classic journalism, which seeks to obtain and disseminate information, this provocative journalism often focuses on generating a certain situation<\/strong> that is best suited to gaining exposure in its preferred format: short videos that are disseminated through Twitter.<\/p>\n Obviously, the success of this journalism is based on the lack of patience of those who are questioned by those who practice it<\/strong>. The less capacity a person has to bear uncomfortable questions, the worse the reaction the journalist will get. Today, those who do this journalism from the right are making the left have to taste its own syrup<\/strong> at a time when the Spanish socialists and communists are making a display of absolute shamelessness in their way of governing.<\/p>\n CQC, when the left did the same and enjoyed it<\/big><\/p>\n Younger readers of this blog may not know it, but this provocative journalism was invented decades ago and the left enjoyed it<\/strong>, because in Spain it began to be practiced by journalists sympathetic to the socialists. 29 years ago, on May 10, 1996, the CQC program began to be broadcast on Telecinco.<\/strong> The program was headed by a habitual fan of the socialists, \"El Gran Wyoming.\" The date on which it began to be broadcast was not a coincidence: Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Aznar (of the PP) had become president of the government five days earlier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Under the guise of humour and satire, CQC has dedicated itself to ridiculing well-known right-wing figures and sending its reporters to do provocative journalism<\/strong>, often against Popular Party politicians and also against journalists close to them. I don't remember anyone ever having a reaction like the one the far-leftist Ana Pardo de Vera had on 8 January against Bertrand Ndongo<\/strong>, making derogatory references to his race, calling him a \"gorilla\", taking the microphone from him and throwing it, as can be seen in this video:<\/p>\n Lo que he vivido esta ma\u00f1ana con Ana Pardo de Vera, es simplemente asqueroso. Lo peor de todo es que ella diga que intent\u00e9 agredirla Todo lo ocurrido lo pod\u00e9is ver en este enlace.
