Studies on communication in mobility have been taking importance as the access to contents has been consolidated among users in all the strata and social and cultural levels. In the last ten years, acceleration in the technological innovations in mobile telephony was produced. This has had its corollary in the corresponding interest in investigating its relationship with the diffusion of news contents and, in general terms, with social communication. This communication explains the impact of mobile telephony on journalism. We reveal the aspect of this device as a news medium and present the context of the vertiginous social expansion that digital mobile technologies have nowadays. Our objective is to disclose this new communicational phenomenon, where the media are usually making their incursions very slowly.
