Abstract

The article draws on a case study of Unpolitical School (US) movement, which combines analysis of the news coverage and the performance of individuals and institutions that use the social network Twitter (from the #escolasempartido [#unpoliticalschool] hashtag). The theoretical background involves the issue of mediatization of politics and contemporary digital activism. As results, it is possible to highlight: media coverage is generally neutral or unfavorable to US, the discussion on Twitter is held mostly by supporters of the cause, with significant use of low-quality media; many tweets use participatory media techniques.
