Sumario:The arrival of Covid-19 imposed many difficulties for the execution of television journalism. The widespreadhealth hazard and the social distancing rules applied became defining factors in this situation.In this adverse context, this research aims to study the technological and procedural innovations thatjournalists applied to continue reporting, and that resulted in the transformation of audiovisual languagein newscasts. The objective is to recognize the changes that were applied in the production ofimages and sounds during this stage, which affected audiovisual creation on a global scale. For thispurpose, the qualitative approach was used, it is a basic and descriptive research in which the analyticalmethod was applied, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to Peruvian television journalists.The results allowed us to recognize the reconfiguration of the audiovisual frame where the images of theinformative content changed due to the use of a hybrid of television cameras, video calls and cell phonesto record them. It was also recognized that the intensive and conjunctural use of live dispatches causedthe predominance of the sequence shot during this period, in addition, all this diversity of materials washomogenized through post-production. This allows us to conclude that a new stage of hybridization ofaudiovisual discourse has occurred due to a phenomenon extrinsic to the television sphere, which wascaused by the disruptive appearance of the pandemic.
