The aim of this paper is to analyze the news 360º coverage of such unprecedented events as the confinements that took place worldwide in 2020 due to the crisis caused by the covid-19. Despite the restrictions, some productions make it possible to document this unusual world scenario while certifying the rights and wrongs in the handling of a format as complex as versatile for its use for journalistic purposes.
