Webnews have been considered, by communication researchers, as a genre with its own characteristics, which distinguish them from printed news. Constant updating, possible on the Internet, enables that the news are rewritten while the facts are investigated. Based on the concepts of rewriting and retextualization, we present an analysis of one fact reported as webnews. We selected a factual text and, using a software, we saved all updates (seven in total) during a day. The analysis of this report,under construction for more than an hour, in front of the readers' eyes, shows rewriting operations and issues about journalistic investigation that can affect both the news production processes (a new paradigm, probably) and the reader's social practices.
