Social networks have become essential means of communication and have modified the concept of political communication. Social media have nowadays an increasingly important impact on election campaigns worldwide, and, therefore, the latest election processes within the Latin-American context are ideal environments for this analysis, due to both the volatility and the richness of the political-electoral competition, and their capacity to influence the exchange of political information through the different emotions of the audiences. This paper presents a systematized study of the communication that took place in social media during the first round of the 2022 Costa Rican electoral process (February 6th). The information has been collected from the data available at the Digital Media Communication Observatory of the Universidad Latina de Costa Rica, using the social listening tools Minerva Data, Kantar IBOPE Media's Adspend and Mention, with the objective of revealing the digital conversation trends in this campaign, an unprecedented electoral process with 25 presidential candidates. The reports from the Digital Communication Observatory show the evolution of the electorate's behavior in terms of interaction, sentiment, topics and voting intention, during the first round of the 2022 electoral process, as well as the general dynamics perceived in the social media and public web environments.

The rapid cyberspace evolution and the volatility of both, websites as well as online media requires an ongoing education of the technique and study methods. We have developed a new model of analysis, unifying previous designs and completing it with a contrasted results validation system. We confront this query from a global perspective and in line with Web 2.0 and social media. For this we start from the Communication Model Website (WCM), developed by Juan Narbona, which analyzes websites using four pillars: content and services, technical instruments, promoters and visitors. This model, valid for Web 1.0, was updated by Daniel Arasa in the Online Communication Model (OCM), which adds a fifth pillar to contemplate social media Also take into account we lean on a quantitative method measurement system the Sistema Articulado de Análisis de Cibermedios (SAAC), for further validation.

This article explores political potentiality of online civic conversation for the constitution of alternative public spheres in Cuba. The analysis of the comments on migration in the Cubadebate site is articulated with a critical examination of the environment and the wider social context surrounding messages, in order to identifying how the interlocutors define common problems, how they explain moral premises supporting their opinions and how they establish an ethical relationship with otherness. It became clear that the appropriation of virtual spaces by Cubans for conversations about problems that affect them, even in mainstream media, contributes to the reconfiguration of their possibilities of autonomous action in the transformative scenario of the country.
