This study describes the selection and verification mechanisms carried out by two news channels in Peru regarding the information provided by citizens through their WhatsApp lines, starting from the studies on citizen journalism. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the journalists in charge of managing this information on the news. Likewise, the news that were transmitted from said information were analyzed. Among the results it was found that, to a great extent, news channels use the same information selection criteria as traditional television journalism, and that the information that arrives through WhatsApp is used as another information source on the news channels.
