In the national strike of June 2022 in Ecuador, the media was the scene of confrontational discourses regarding the mobilization. The community media, unlike the private media, allied themselves with the demonstrators' positions. This theoretical-analytical reflection addresses two particularities that were evidenced in the practices of community media, the media-space relationship and the configuration of discourses, in order to evaluate the power of these media to sustain different and more responsible communication proposals, especially in contexts of high social conflict.

Introduction: Research reports an increase in the forms of cyber hate towards migrant groups in digital contexts. However, few tools have been developed to collect the experiences of those who face such aggression. Methodology: The objective is to validate an instrument designed to assess the extent of exposure to hate speech. Additionally, it aims to examine the consequential impact on the engagement and involvement of migrant communities within the media landscape of Chile. The Delphi method, incorporating expert judgment and cognitive interviews, is implemented in this study. A meticulously crafted questionnaire comprising 26 items is applied to a pilot sample of 453 migrants residing in Chile, 51% of whom are between 30 and 59 years old, 58% are female and 60% come from Venezuela. Results: A Cronbach's Alpha of 0.95 is reached and it is found that 62% of respondents have received hate messages through Instagram (56%) and Facebook (45%), linked to their nationality (33%) and under the framing of security (43%), experiencing discomfort (53%) and hopelessness (56%). Consequently, 41% "sometimes" delete media accounts from their digital information diet and only 7% participate in media environments "frequently". Discussion: It is warned that cyber hate towards migrant people could produce disinformation, by news avoidance, and affect the media participation of these communities. Conclusions: A validated questionnaire was acquired to gather insights into the exposure of migrants when confronted with hate speech and its possible effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: This paper analyzes the perceptions of communities in depopulated territories and of a group of journalists regarding local media and identifies which journalistic functions and roles they consider most valuable. The findings are an opportunity to reflect on the connection between media deserts, community expectations about journalism and the future of local media in the context of a potential media reform. Methodology: Five focus groups have been conducted: four of them held in two towns located in the province of Cuenca, Ledaña (1,563 inhabitants) and Priego (885 inhabitants) and a fifth focus group was held online with journalists and professionals selected for their specialization in depopulated territories and rural areas. Results: The analysis shows that professionals and citizens are committed to “militant journalism” when working in depopulated areas; they value an attentive and caring approach to communities, constructive criticism, the generation of interaction networks and depth when addressing their problems. Three roles are identified for media: instrumental, recognition and mediation. Discussion and conclusions: In the current context there is a space of opportunity to explore formulas that incorporate the media as strategic actors in public policies facing the demographic challenge, at the same time this opportunity could catalyze the implementation of some media reform proposals.

In this study we analyze the evolution of local news about COVID-19 by examining news articles in social media. In particular, we focus on the analysis of the differences between traditional and online native local newspapers using a dataset of 278,611 Facebook posts. We study the trends of the interest of these media and the corresponding readers. While the overall interest in COVID-19 of traditional local and native online newspapers were similar and high, some differences were observed. Although both local medias showed some fatigue in the final phases, the interest of digital native local media was greater than that of traditional ones. The opposite happened with readers of traditional local media, who showed slightly more interest. Finally, our results showed that the interest of digital native local media and their readers was significantly more paced and similar than that of traditional ones, where readers showed significantly more interest than the media.

This scientific research article proposes an analytical approach to examine the media representation of culture in local newspapers. Using the Political Economy of Communication (PEC), the author seeks to determine if the dissemination of culture in the local press is primarily driven by commercial considerations and establish connections between cultural representation and media power structures. The study focuses on newspapers in Sevilla and Porto Alegre, analyzing the evolution of the concept of culture in the media throughout history. The importance of the written press in the dissemination of culture and the preservation of local identities is highlighted, as well as the changes in cultural supplements and the reduction of pages in major Spanish newspapers. The comparative study reveals that the most discussed cultural topics are film, music, books, and theater, with differences in focus between the newspapers of Sevilla and Porto Alegre. It is concluded that local media focuses on promoting market culture and does not maintain a critical position regarding public management of culture. [Extracted from the article]

This article proposes a method for investigating the local press from the perspective of Information Structure. The importance of contextualizing the area and the media context of the local press in the research is emphasized. The relevance of the type of headlines to understand the studied media is mentioned. It is also mentioned that there have been previous works on the local press in the area, but they are considered insufficient, highlighting the need to study local journalistic initiatives in the metropolitan belt of Seville. The article presents a methodological proposal for the study of the local press in the province of Seville, dividing it into regions, towns in each region, and the provincial capital. The media groups Grupo Joly, Grupo Mallou, and Publicaciones del Sur are mentioned, and the importance of local journalism as a tool for social development is highlighted. It also discusses the growth of local media in Spain during the COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of local media in the digital era. [Extracted from the article]

Various alternative forms of communication have emerged, such as community radio, radio podcasts, publications in networks, and press releases. These tools have served communities of eastern and southwestern Antioquia and the organizations COA and MOVETE, to sustain their causes over time, make the communicative task massive, and extend an invitation to more people to take action in favor of the defense of the territory. This has the advantage that popular communication strategies allow many stakeholders to become not only consumers and receivers of the information that other people produce, but also creators and transmitters of their own information, which emerges from the dynamics of their daily lives, by helping to reduce the communication gap between mass media and the excluded communities.

In the irrigated areas of Mendoza province, located in the centralwest region of Argentina, trees play a central role in the construction of places and the definition of identity. The landscape, understood in a relational and historical sense, emerges as an interesting category for analyzing how material and discursive phenomena and dynamics shape environments that are considered characteristic of an identity. Based on a study of historical and current discourses and materialities regarding the formation of the forest landscape in the central-northern region of the province (currently known as the northern oasis), our objective is to analyze the role of these plants in the shaping and consolidation of distinctive environments, ways of experiencing these landscapes, and ethnic and provincial identities. The historical analysis is approached through a synthesis of archaeological and documentary data, which allows for the delineation and distinction of indigenous, colonial, and modern landscape formations. Current materialities are analyzed through agronomic studies, environmental reports produced by state agencies or provincial legislations, and own records. Discourses are examined through research in local media, web forums, and public debates. This article provides a synthesis and new insights on the topic, particularly by discussing various previously isolated sources. This holistic and historically informed analysis allows us to observe how narratives and materialities are intertwined in the unique construction of the forest landscape in Mendoza's irrigated areas, shaping a distinct environment, experience, and identity in the study region, impacting various fields of knowledge and practice.

This text aims to present an academic reflection on the process of renewal of the public community policy in Bogota - Colombia, which will be carried out between 2020 and 2023. Initially, it presents the conceptual considerations on which the work is based in relation to communication policies, community communication, and the problematic crossover between these concepts. Then, it attempts to describe and analyze the tensions originated within the Mesa Distrital de Comunicación Comunitaria, in the framework of the preparatory phase of the public policy. And, finally, it suggests some ideas or challenges resulting from the experience, which could well be assumed in the future stages of the political project. Among them, it is worth highlighting the urgent need to redefine community communication, based on the practices exercised by community media and the current historical moment, because, only in this way, it would be possible to identify the character of communication and the meaning of public policy in the current reconstruction process.

This article aims to describe characteristics and communicational practices of community, alternative, and popular radio stations in San Luis Province, Argentina, between 2010 and 2020, considering the latest regulation in force: LSCA law 26.522, 2009. In San Luis, there are three radio stations that fall under the categories of community, alternative, and popular, according to the law: La Bulla, Masi Radio, and Radio Rebelde, all of them born after the law was sanctioned. The methodology is qualitative, and the analysis is based on empirical research that includes official registries, previous research, academic papers, interviews, and informal conversations with media members. The study analyzes the practices that these radio stations develop to build sustainability, and whether or not they achieve it. Their relationship to other socially relevant actors, such as the State in its three levels, other civil organizations, within a concentrated and centralized media system, is also considered, reflecting those characteristics from the province's political power configuration. Community radios in San Luis suffered the consequences of the national government changes and the paralysis in local communication policies, nevertheless, they are still operative. However, the lack of new community experiences requires further thoughts about how social and political conditions contribute to its marginal position in the communicational system of the province.

This article presents the results of an investigation carried out on the followers of the television series The Newsroom (HBO) in Spain. Two focus groups (N = 17) were carried out. They included journalists (with different roles in local and national media) and journalism students from various Spanish universities. The participants were questioned about their experiences, knowledge, and perceptions of the plot and the characters of the audiovisual fiction. The interpretation of the data was made from four levels, which evaluated the emotional involvement from lower to higher degree: (1) transportation, (2) identification, (3) parasocial interaction, and (4) worship. The central hypothesis raised the relationship between the ethical values of The Newsroom and the high emotional involvement of the fans. The results obtained will help to understand the high degree of identification of the spectators with the media content. The internalization of ethical values, the adoption of the character's point of view, and the reflection on their informative mission, based on the fiction proposal, are significant aspects. Participants demonstrated an aspirational tendency through empathy and the desire to imitate the main characters. The reasoning of the fans revealed parasocial interactions, and their experiences of transportation (immersion in the story) demonstrated critical skills expressed through counterarguments.

This research aims to identify the representativeness of local culture in local media. To this end, it selects as the object of study the two main printed newspapers in Seville: Diario de Sevilla and ABC de Sevilla, to which it applies content analysis to their cultural pages between 2013 and 2018. It's based on the theoretical perspective that assumes, from the perspective of cultural journalism, that the restriction of a publication's concept of culture can restrict the interests of its own audience. The results show that local cultural information is permanent in Sevillian newspapers, but there are structural market influences that weaken the representativeness of local producers and artists.

The increasingly complex relationship between conventional media, digital platforms, political actors and audiences merits an exhaustive analysis of the functions and relationships between them and the perceptions about media and media manipulation from youth audiences. This research addresses the manipulation of Bolivian television news content by commercial and political interests. The analysis has a Latin American theoretical-critical foundation, in which the qualitative technique of Group Discussion (GD) was applied to four groups of high school students in the main cities of Bolivia: El Alto-La Paz, Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and Oruro. The originality of this work is based on considering the opinions of young people, primary consumers of audiovisual media, giving prominence to their concerns and ideas. As the main findings, it was evidenced that young students highlight the excessive political manipulation of information from public and community media, recognizing the need to develop media competencies to face the alleged social control. On the other hand, they propose citizen interpellation through the use of Information Technologies to democratize communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the context of social struggles of the second decade of the 21st century, expressed and unleashed from the new communication technologies, the Ecuadorian National Strike in October 2019 is a case of interest to explore the uses of social networks by the mobilized citizen and indigenous movements. The purpose of this research is to analyze the forms of digital production and distribution of the images of three Ecuadorian groups during the Ecuadorian National Strike: Wambra, digital community medium; Fluxus Foto, a collective of photojournalists, and Primera Línea, an online curatorial work. In the present investigation, three stages can be identified. In the first stage, a first corpus was determined with the main activist strategies of visual creation and communication developed during the National Strike of Ecuador. In the second stage, three activist image concepts were configured that allude to temporal praxis and that were applied to the analysis of three active digital activist collectives during the strike: the image-simultaneity, the image-continuity and the image-memory. Finally, in the third and final stage, four categorical modalities were established that were useful to analyze each of the previous concepts of activist digital image: Collective enunciation; Plurimediality, Structural openness and Connectivity. These concepts have given us two fundamental conclusions: a) We have been able to demonstrate how time provides a greater ability to choose and work with images; b) The closer the image is to the present of its production, the greater number of visits and reactions.

Within journalism, social media has become a vehicle of communication that keeps the audience up to date regarding the content they publish. To manage this relationship, the figure of the community manager, a professional directly linked to studies of Information Sciences, is indispensable, especially in Journalism and Advertising. A qualitative methodology is used on the basis of Grounded Theory in 13 telephone interviews with Spanish media community managers. The data were later treated and coded with the analysis tool Atlas.ti version 8.4.3. Journalistic community managers have quite varied functions and are in constant evolution. The perception that the quality of content published on social media has more weight than results (in the form of clicks and interactions) prevails in an environment where information is consumed at high speed, and where competence is more difficult to discern. Journalism does not have to turn to social media only as simple intermediaries for official websites; it must build up a community of users interested in the media and the current topics being disseminated. Despite communicative noise, digital platforms are perceived as positive and as an effective tool for the medium, keeping the audience informed through the community manager's daily management as the voice of the medium.

Introduction: on July 31, 2020, it was sixty years since the inauguration, by the then Minister of Public Health of Cuba, Dr. José Ramón Machado Ventura, of the Provincial Pediatric Hospital "José Luis Miranda". Objective: to summarize aspects related to the history of the hospital. Method: a bibliographic review was carried out including articles published in local media, original documents from the hospital and personal interviews. Development: the hospital started with only 120 beds and 28 doctors and its first director was Dr. Carlos Martínez Reyes, an outstanding revolutionary doctor and combatant of the 26th of July Movement. In the following years it gradually increased its services and assistance tasks. Conclusions: it is necessary to increase the interrelation between the institution and the community organizations and to prosper in the adequate treatment of admitted children and their relatives. The younger ones are nurtured by the experience accumulated by those with more years of work, but all with the same goal: to maintain the emblem of Cuban Pediatrics: "nothing is more important than a child".

This article seeks to reflect on community radio and television in this post-conflict times. To do so, an approximation is made to sustainability as a central category resulting from the balance between economic, political and, particularly, sociocultural aspects. Secondl, two experiences are reviewed: This is how radios sound for the peace in Colombia and the Community Media Conversation. They serve as a pretext to know its reality, its scope and limitations.

This research addresses the challenge of analyzing the interactive practices that young people develop in fan communities through different platforms and social networks. For this purpose, a case study based on the 3rd season of the series SKAM Spain is proposed. The theoretical framework defines the importance of fan communities in the media context, the role of social networks as spaces for youth participation and the interaction models that arise from this fiction consumption. As for the methodology, a qualitative analysis based on digital anthropology is used through various data collection techniques such as virtual ethnography and focus group, which are analyzed and interpreted according to the theory of discourse analysis, using a multimodal approach. The results of the research involve the reconstruction of the contents generated through social networks, taking into account both the intentionality of their creators and the impact achieved among the social audience. The conclusions allow establishing levels of interaction between the fan community and fictional content. Finally, the discussion debates the new models of youth audience and the role of content producers in facilitating the immersion of fans in transmedia fiction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The authenticity of the information has become a topic of great social repercussion. In the digital environment, the scope and effects of the dissemination of distorted, inaccurate or false information acquire enormous potential due to the impact they have in the real world, in minutes, for millions of citizens. This research has investigated the following questions: Are university students capable of discerning the veracity of the information that reaches them? How and to what extent are information consumption habits related to the previous question? Do they know instruments such as fact-checkers to identify fake news, or do they build their own contrast strategies? The level of trust generated by the different sources of information, from local and regional media to large media, as well as social networks, has also been studied, with the aim of analyzing how the crisis of trust in the media it is translated into information consumption habits and how they position themselves in the complex media ecosystem. The work is based on the administration of a questionnaire to a representative sample (n=830) of students from the University of the Balearic Islands. The results of the study show, on the one hand, the deficits that university students present when it comes to recognizing false news, secondly, they show very little use of tools to contrast the veracity of the information and, finally, they allow outline the relationship between different types of information consumption and the ability to recognize fake news.
