【Abstract】Political journalism is a major player and one of the democratizing pillars of the fourth estate. The metaverse opens new frontiers to the so-called immersive journalism. The article addresses with this incipient narrative in order to verify its hypothetical penetration and viability within Communication. The research questions whether virtual reality in its advanced version, the so-called metaverse, is perceived by the press sector as a valuable resource and whether it will have an impact on forms and styles related to politics or, on the contrary, is the result of the technophilia inherent in hypermodernity. The methodology generates a state of the art through case studies and/or experimental situations presented as journalistic sources. To resolve the frictions of the case studies, a heuristic Likert-based focus group is convened. Lines such as platform capitalism and other issues related to the validity of virtual reality as a political cybersource converge in the discussion. The conclusions reveal the informational potential of this promising discourse with the necessary qualities to mutate this field, social action and even the political space, just as the Internet has already done.
