This paper investigates the key elements of the audiovisual policy of the International Organization of la Francophonie (OIF). The hypothesis to be tested is that the audiovisual policy of la Francophonie presents a fundamental concept of the audiovisual. This study is exploratory in nature and considers only the last ten years of la Francophonie. The research presents a mixed methodological approach that combines quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Many items have been analyzed: frameworks for action and declarations, the structure of the organization in the audiovisual area and programs and major projects. One of the most important conclusions of this study is that audiovisual policy of the OIF is characterized by diversity, as well as by its link with culture. However, the OIF tries to ensure the presence of the French universe, ignoring the voices of the rest of the organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper shows the most relevant conclusions of the research: "The informative image in online media: newspaper, radio and television". Firstly, the author presents the theory and methodology employed and them she describes how they are applied to a sample collected in 2004. This consisted of 311 images from online editions of newspaper La Vanguardia, El País and El Mundo; the radio stations Cadena Ser, Onda Cero, COPE, as well as broadcasters Antena 3 and Telecinco. Finally it explores how the object of study has changed and developed until 2008 and its possible lines of research. One of the main conclusions is that the modular design of the pages undermines the visual message. The presentation is homogeneous and the edition of the images is sharp to adjust them to fixed sizes. Authors have become anonymous, whereas news agencies have become the main suppliers of images.
