Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the possibilities of Pro-Am as a journalistic strategy on Twitter. The study has an exploratory approach and the discussion is based on the different expressions by Zero Hora.com on Twitter. We observed some social network practices that point to a collaboration between amateurs and professionals on the construction and circulation of news, what demonstrates evidences that Twitter can be integrated into journalistic process as a whole.
