| Summary: | The aim of this research is to analyze the youtubers who generate and share political content. A distinction is made between two groups: those who defend government actions and those who are detractors. It seeks to understand how these youtubers are constructed, what their resources, strategies and stories are to persuade and influence their audience and, finally, what the political culture underlying the participation of these opinion leaders is. This was observed in the publications produced during the first months of the covid-19 pandemic in Mexico. The case study method and a qualitative methodology involving online content analysis are used. The author proposes a definition of youtubers, a conceptual framework for their analysis and evidence of a nascent sociological phenomenon.
