The focus of the work is to investigate the digital narrative design of journalistic content for mobile devices. The research object is seen as a group of systemic narrative formats since it evolves a series of interdependent elements that act together with databases before and after the publication of the content. The goal is to verify with the research what are the proper and exclusive features of the mobile technology that can be used by the journalistic industry and that today are not being well applied by the companies or not used in its complete potential. The empirical analysis envolves the newspapers The New York Times, The Guardian, El País and Estado de São Paulo.
