Abstract
This communication explores the multiple narratives in the internet of protest occurred in Vitória capital of Espirito Santo (Brazil) in June 2011. We have identified a way to tell the story through the social media: monster-narrative. We use the concept of multitude coined by Hardt and Negri as a way of thinking about contemporary society and the transformations. Still stuck in the traditional and grand narratives to tell their stories, local journalism was hit during protests in favor of improving public transport in the region.
