Periods of international crisis, such as the war in Ukraine that began in February 2022, are very symbolic times. Due to the remoteness of this type of conflicts, the media still play an important role in the shaping of news items that reach citizens. However, this field also suffers the deep transformations that digital platforms have brought for journalism. In this context, this study aims to explore the mechanisms that the press uses to generate international leaders on Twitter. Specifically, we analyze how the media contribute to creating figures of hero, anti-hero or villain with Zelensky and Putin, similar to ancient antagonistic struggles. To this purpose, a discursive content analysis is applied to a sample of all tweets (n=1244) posted by the five main Spanish newspapers (El País, El Mundo, ABC, El Confidencial, elDiario.es) that referenced these two leaders, during the weeks before and after the start of the war. As a result, there is a greater number of mentions of Putin, together with a negative approach. The building of a dichotomous relationship also occurs through a Zelensky who usually acts as the subject, but with less active verbs than Putin. Nevertheless, differences are detected depending on the ideology and the technological nature of the newspaper. These findings, added to the fact that the public prefer to interact with messages that allude to Zelensky or both leaders, foster a debate about the implications of this underlying intentionality of the media.

Even though the relation between media and translation had not been widely studied (Valdeón, 2012; 852), during the last years several authors have dealt with this issue. Due to the importance of media translation, and the role played by media in disseminating ideologies, its study seems to be essential. This article sets to analyse how the information from a British headline on Spanish current affairs is translated and transmitted by six Spanish newspapers. For that purpose, the ideological square (discourse, society, cognition) of the TO and the TT will be studied. Once this task has been accomplished, we will be able to reflect on the changes identified and the possible consequences for the target audience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Spanish books and newspapers, which circulated in Buenos Aires at the beginning of the 19th century were used by the editors of the Buenos Aires press as inputs for content management. The texts published in Spain were read to be transcribed or rewritten, without mentioning the source of origin, in the Buenos Aires late-colonial press. The lack of author mention in the texts led to the ambiguity of believing that the authorship belonged to who was considered the editor of the newspaper. The comparative analysis, carried out thanks to the digitalization of Spanish printed sources by the Digital Newspaper Archive of the National Library of Spain, allowed us to find the correspondence between the sources published in Spain and the Buenos Aires newspaper Correo de Comercio (1810-1811). Texts were found in the newspaper, which for more than a hundred years were attributed to Manuel Belgrano, which had been translated in Spain by French authors such as Veron Duverger de Forbonnais. In the analysis of authorship in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in the Hispanic cultural field, it was possible to explain the appropriation of foreign texts, because they sought to favor the circulation of ideas for the promotion of the common good.

This paper investigates the way LGTBI+ people are represented by conservative and progressive Spanish newspapers. With this purpose in mind, a corpus has been compiled with news items published regarding the ratification of the legal nature of homosexual marriage in Spain on November 6, 2012. As a method, we have analyzed transitivity and the semantic roles of processes as an instrument of the Critical Discourse Analysis methodology. The main results reveal that there is a substantial difference between conservative and progressive newspapers: the prominence given by the conservative press to LGTBI+ people represents just one third of that displayed by the progressive press; the conservative press reduces the levels of consciousness, voice, cognition, desire, emotion and perception as compared to the progressive, which strengthens them. Finally, the conservative press uses negative processes as an LGTBI+ people's intrinsic feature; whilst the progressive uses them to reveal social injustice against them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to develop a pragmatic-discursive analysis of the metaphors deployed in the Spanish newspaper headlines about rare diseases. The corpus comprises the news published during two time periods: from July to September of 2014 (776 articles), and from January to May of 2015 (2,521 articles). The description of the semantics and pragmatics of the metaphors identified in the corpus was performed by combining the predictions from Relevance Theory and from Cognitive Metaphor Theory. A complementary discursive analysis in the framework of Critical Analysis of Metaphor was also conducted. The results showed that the conceptual and expressive content conveyed by two main conceptual metaphors -ILLNESS IS A CONTEST, and ILLNESS IS A JOURNEY- set a specific conceptual and ideological frame to make sense of these illnesses.

Legibility is a decisive factor to optimize the usability of digital newspapers. In order to achieve this goal and to improve the understanding of the message, it is essential to consider the typographic features of the news body text. Through a quantitative method, this study tries to analyze whether, as seen in print press, Spanish online journals show significant standards in the design of this element, both on desktop and smartphone. The investigation is completed with an analysis of the adaptive strategies of each publication by comparing the visual properties of the body text in these two devices. The research concludes that there is a subtle homogeneity in the typographic characteristics of the body text and important differences in the responsive methods of these publications.

This study compiles and analyzes data on views of politicians and economists reported in news articles published in five Spanish dailies (the three leading national newspapers -El País, El Mundo and ABC-, and the two leading financial newspapers -Expansión and Cinco Días-). Quantitative content analysis will be used as the basic methodology for research. This content analysis will be focused on the coincidences and divergences between the nature, structure and frames of the opinions and comments on the bubble made by these policy makers and experts in two different periods, before and after the bubble burst. The general hypothesis of the research is that before the crisis -especially among politicians- there was not a real discussion on the threat of a housing bubble, its causes and probable consequences, but a quite orchestrated "negationist" consensus.

This article describes and analyzes the image which the Spanish press disseminated of the 8,298 Spanish workers who participated in the building of the Panama Canal between 1906 and 1909. Our investigation is based on the hypothesis that the Spanish workers in Panama were the subject of a fiery controversy between the different political parties and journalistic enterprises in Spain in that period. In fact, the newspapers were a forum for important debates about the advantages and disadvantages of the recruitment of operatives, above all those from Galicia, to work in Panama under the orders of the United States government. While the conservative press wrote about the more technical aspects of the project, those which spoke for the left and workers' movements openly criticized the way that the U.S. government treated the Spanish workers. In general, the press had a very critical attitude towards the conditions they worked in at the Canal and the treatment of Spanish laborers, but it depended on the circumstances of Spanish politics and the pressures of the government of the United States.

El Genio can be considered a pioneer magazine in the use of photography as an iconic element in the press. The Departmental Library of Burgos (Spain) retains a copy of the magazine El Genio, 1875, in which albumin photographs are inserted in specimens of typography by an ingenious system paste in blanks. There are precedents for inserting pages with photographic images in picture books, but for the first time, readers could watch real testimonies of the life of the Burgos city. El Genio was the work of Martinez Añibarro family. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current research on public opinion shows a high level of discredit of trade unions in Spain. This article focuses on one of the expressions of this discredit: the discourse on trade unionism by mass media. To this purpose, the anti-union discourse by the conservative newspaper La Razón during the first semester of 2012 is analysed. Firstly, 868 headlines of news relating to trade unions in this newspaper are explored and classified into neutral, negative or positive content. Secondly, the structure and elements of the anti-union discourse in a selection of news reports is analysed. The results reinforce the thesis that trade unions are subject to an intensive disparaging campaign which is seriously damaging their public image and their social power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the process of infant feeding throughout history, one of the options has been the support by wet nurses, in both household and institutional level. This social figure has been reflected in press and can be studied in terms of its representation. We set as our goal to acquire a social vision through the analysis of a corpus of documents from the newspaper ABC of Madrid between 1903 and 1920. The method used has been the search of the term wet nurse through the review and content analysis of the ABC, in news, advertisements and other references in the period indicated. 999 documents have been recovered and analyzed, 41% corresponding to wet nurses offers and demands, 24% to advertisements and products related to food and/or food supplements. The remaining records correspond to economic measures, legislative rules, references to wet nurses of royalty or social references. Qualitative content analysis clarifies the social vision of wet nurses in society at that time. The study concludes that wet nurses are presented as a normalized social figure and as such is reflected in the press, which will also reflect the negative view of these women influenced by the hygienist current.

This paper analyzes 621 videos published during two weeks on the front pages or covers of five Spanish digital newspapers (abc.es, elconfidencial.com, elmundo.es, elpais.com and lavanguardia.com). The contents, genres, formats and structures of these videos have important singularities -both own and external production- in regard to the typical audiovisual production of television news. In addition to data from fieldwork, this study provides the ideas from audiovisual department heads about the role of video in digital media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The media are important actors in humanitarian crisis management and resolution, both in the countries facing the crises and in the rest of the world. Based on an inductive approach to a news sample from four Spanish newspapers, this study analyses the news frames used in the coverage of countries facing humanitarian crises. Results show that, with certain differences between countries, the Spanish press frames these countries as being theatres of war and violence, Islamic terrorism, and crime. From a theoretical perspective, results also suggest that news frames should not be classified either as "generic" or "specific," but that they should instead be placed on a continuous scale ranging from "generic" through to "specific".

This article studies the characterization art in a selection of newspaper articles written by the Spanish journalist Manuel Chaves Nogales (Seville, 1897 - Madrid, 1944). Specifically, the investigation analyzes 18 pieces of different genres (chronicles, portraits, interviews) where the character is essential. Through them you can see the evolution in the characterization of Chaves, his quest to reveal the character of people in the news through meaningful scenes by a few strokes that indirectly show their political, social and journalistic concerns.

The press in Spanish in the United States, of Hispanic observance, played a significant role in the re-election of president Obama in 2012, not as much because they campaigned for that candidate, as due to the treatment given in the months prior to the polls to Hispanic social, economic and political problems. This article crosses two parallel researches by studying these topics in four newspapers and four magazines among the most relevant over six months and the front-pages of these periodicals presenting the victory of Obama, by means of a pragmalinguistic analysis.

In order to obtain a better understanding of the change of opinions and attitudes of the Spanish toward immigrants (Cea D'Ancona, 2004, 2007), this study analyzes the evolution of the media discourse referring to immigration in three Spanish newspapers: El País, El Mundo and La Vanguardia (2000-2008). In this work, a novel technique of semantic content analysis is applied to detect significant shifts in this discourse. The results show clear evidences of the evolution of the discourse regarding the immigration and its association with security issues and the demand for political solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Information graphics have found a place in Spanish newspapers. Nonetheless, there is still a constant demand by the information graphics community to be recognized as playing a more important role in conveying information, a role not always reflected in the pages of the newspaper. The integration and role of information visualization in the media, with routines, standardization, complexities and confusions, involve a variety of approaches that capture the changes and challenges that have shaped the creative and narrative strategies of information graphics in the news.

The act of publishing common editorial articles in newspapers with different ideology and origin was a technique used along Spanish Transition to defend democratic positions in disestablishing circumstances, like terrorism. Once democratic state recovered normality, these practices fell into obscurity. But more than three decades since then, twelve newspapers from Catalunya, among them the leading La Vanguardia and El Periódico, published on 26 of November an extensive editorial defending the Statute of Autonomy of Catalunya and Catalan identity with the title "The dignity of Catalunya". The combined editorial can be a valuable resource to express shared common grounds on facts that require so, nevertheless, this conjunctural agreement should not imply a lack of pluralism [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to understand the behavior of Spain's main media within a specific electoral context: the 2008 General Election. To this end, we analyzed the coverage of the major Spanish newspapers (El País, El Mundo and Abc) in order to determine whether their agenda setting and framing had political motives, in addition to the merely informative intention. Spanish media had at least two options within the context of the elections: to offer their readers a neutral coverage or, on the contrary, to taint it with obvious partisanship. Our findings demonstrate the predominance of the latter option. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the first decade of the 20th century, the media have modified their structures due to the impact of digital technology. As a result, it has become necessary to monitor the changes and analyze the developments in order to better understand its evolution and consequences. One of the goals of the Infoscopos project is to assess the process of change from the more traditional methods of information to digital information in the Spanish press; and evaluate its impact on different activities, such as research, teaching, and its influence on the profesionals dedicated to information and documentation. We are presenting the results of the analysis of the documentation and technology in relation with twelve of the leading daily newspapers, according to the Estudio General de Medios (EGM-General Media Study) and the Oficina de Justificación de la Difusión (OJD-Distribution Justification Office). 83.4% of the newspaper are storing their news in databases.

With the aim to evaluate the effectiveness of the institutions involved in prevention about drug consumption as a source of the information, we analyze personal sources, frames and main themes of the 502 newspaper articles about the subject in four general Spanish newspapers -El País, El Mundo, ABC and La Razón- between January and June 2009. The methodology used is content categorical and evaluative content analysis from the perspective of framing. The most quoted sources are mainly private institutions like Fundación de Ayuda contra la Drogadicción. However, most of the texts are focused from the perspective of crime and traffic of drugs. The study allows to identify that, instead of the political and institutional efforts from the ministers of health placing drug abuse as a social and health problem, the most used frames in this issue are related to crime and traffic of substances, more than focused on the social and sanitary dimension of the problem, which contribute to distortion of the reality of drug dependency and to the association of drug addict-criminal.

Luis Astrana Marín wrote during the twenties several articles where he laughed about vanguard and followers of Góngora. For that reason, Poets of 27 had him among their more conspicuous enemies and dedicated to him different invectives and jokes. All this is another example of the polemic attitude that the Generation of 27 showed in his birth. This article intends to revive that polemic, taking as a main feature the opinions of Astrana, an important historian of the Spanish literature almost forgotten nowadays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The coverage of 2008 Spanish presidential elections was remarkably different among free dailies and the paid press. Content analysis of main Spanish newspapers (El País, El Mundo, ADN, Qué! and 20 minutos) reveals a varying degree of salience in the coverage of the political event, as well as the extent to which these papers were politicized. Additionally, news frames were analyzed. The results of this study come from the project "The model of the free press in Spain: development, contents, uses and gratifications perceived by the audience", funded by Ministry of Science and Innovation (SEJ2007-66380).
