This research examined the news published by the digital native media El Portal Universitario in the social network Facebook in August 2020 during the first wave of contagion caused by the pandemic of covid-19 in Puno. The objective of the study was to analyze the use of cyberjournalistic genres and digital journalistic characteristics such as hypertextuality, multimediality, instantaneity and interactivity. The quantitative approach method was used with a descriptive-analytical non-experimental design. Two techniques were used: content analysis, which allows counting and tabulation from the parameters required by cyberjournalism in social networks, considering only those publications related to the health crisis, and the structured interview. After the analysis, it was determined that the pandemic context was unfavorable for El Portal Universitario, which had more than 370 thousand followers and transcended in the regional territory, by changing its editorial line of university affairs, to cover rather, regional information about the pandemic by covid-19. Not being a topic from a university informative perspective, it evidenced professional limitations in the quality of its contents, with ignorance of the characteristics of the digital native media, losing reach and influence of its publications in the followers.

Teaching of digital journalism, or cyberjournalism, in Spanish universities is here to stay. Its long development since the first courses in this discipline were added to college curricula in the mid-1990s until the beginning of the 2020s, when the number of such courses exceeds 100, has led to the consolidation of this specialty. Based on a review of the syllabi of all courses related to cyberjournalism (n = 119) published online by Spanish universities, as well as a survey of their teachers (n = 51), the results of this study depicts the profile of teaching about digital journalism in Spain. The results confirm the relevance and academic strength of this discipline, albeit also revealing the difficulties faced by teachers in keeping their courses up to date in a context of rapid and continuous change in the journalistic profession.

Digital media have enhanced the user-media-content relationship. Now the challenge for cyberjournalism is to encourage audience participation and engagement, which is why interactivity is essential. To distinguish between the types of interactivity that can be applied in journalism, we analyzed 23 publications from the world’s most subscribed cybermedia. We found that the most used types of interactivity are personalization and social. But generative and navigational interactivity, with augmented reality and immersion, are almost non-existent, thus being challenges for the sector [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The evolution of participatory interview formats that appeared from 2015 to 2020 in the leading digital newspapers in Spain (El pa's, El mundo, ABC, AS, El diario.es, and El confidencial), as well as Facebook live because it is a new channel for content distribution via social networks, is analyzed. The content of a sample of more than 300 digital interviews was analyzed, considering the narrative scheme between the interviewee and interviewer, the style that the new format acquires on the Internet, the level of audience participation, and the interconnection of the interviewee with the audience/ reader. The levels of interaction and reaction of the audiences were analyzed, as well as the possibility of a new type of journalistic storytelling with different levels of interaction that seeks to achieve audience participation, allowing them to feel part of the dialogue, and to expand other possibilities for participation with the interview. This new format encourages online media to evolve towards more dialogic spaces with their audiences using textual, graphic, or auditory language to build a narrative story that fuels curiosity and arouses interest in participation by the audience/reader.

In the Post-Truth Era, we can see how citizens are increasingly distrustful of the media, especially the written media. Cyber-journalism, which is no longer financed by readers but by advertising in what is known as the tyranny of the click (Marín, 2019), and the disinformation caused by the wrongly named fake news and by the bots that spread hoaxes on the net, have generated this informative climate in which readers come to question any news. This research aims to analyze the data verification tools that generalist newspapers use to detect false news and gain credibility among users. To this end, a study of 38 digital newspapers in Spain is being carried out in order to check whether they implement any tools, what they are, and how they show the traceability of the information they publish. A quantitative and qualitative case study methodology is used. After the analysis, it is observed that there are tools that trace in an excellent way where the information that is consumed comes from, but most digital newspapers do not implement them.

During the last two decades, the traditional media model of the local press has suffered a deep crisis which, together with the economic one, has led to the closure of many newspapers and staff cuts. The growing need for a truthful local news offer and the adverse labor reality in the communication sector have motivated many journalists to found their own local and hyperlocal media in the network. In this research, an exploratory study is carried out to elaborate the first map of local and hyperlocal online media in Spain, with the objective of knowing the presence of this type of media in the State. Subsequently, these online media are subjected to a content analysis to identify their basic characteristics and development trends. The results show a relevant growth of local and hyperlocal online media in the country, and their features reflect the search for new information models from proximity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drawing upon the misinformation stories debunked by the three accredited fact-checking platforms in Spain, a content analysis of all the hoaxes (N = 292) bound to the Covid-19 pandemic is performed, over the first month of the state of alarm decreed by the Spanish Government (March 14th, 2020 – April 13th, 2020). The study shows that the hoaxes about the coronavirus were disseminated mainly on social networks and, among them, especially in closed ones, such as the WhatsApp mobile messaging application. It also detects the most frequent formal and content peculiarities of misinformation. The results reveal that the pandemic, in addition to generating a large number of hoaxes on health and science, also led to the dissemination of many political fake news. The formats, sources and territories of origin of the hoaxes are also explored. Beyond the empirical results, this study makes theoretical contributions in the framework of the emerging studies on information disorders. Specifically, it provides a definition of hoax, as well as a typology in which four main types are identified: joke, exaggeration, decontextualization and deception. Based on these four types, a ‘hoax severity diagram’ is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The social impact of misinformation in the network society, fueled by the effect of the so-called fake news, has awaken numerous warning lights in the second decade of the third millennium. The large number of messages that circulate through technological infrastructures and the strategies applied for them to achieve the greatest impact on social behavior have increased the complexity of the communicative ubiquity context. This situation has been interpreted by journalism as a threat to credibility and as a challenge to seek antidotes that offer answers to citizens interested in truthful information, through the cultivation of quality journalism. This article analyzes 135 fact-checking initiatives around the world and delves into the characterization of six selected cases. The results identify different models in the organization, the content and the verification formulae for a change of direction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Ecuador, digital journalism research platforms have emerged due to the support of international cooperation and its lines of interest, mainly because during the 2007-2017 decade, information in traditional media had direct control from the State, which is why the journalistic investigation units saw their work diminished and even died out. Despite having a trained human resource, the journalistic companies did not bet more for the investigation, for which the journalists transferred their work to thematic specialized digital spaces, and which are financed by international cooperation and its main lines of work: fight against corruption, organized crime and trafficking in persons; which has made that the journalistic investigation has left the traditional media and develops in these spaces of specialized cyberjournalism, where the agenda does not arise from a near need but from a global vision or from an external requirement, but that affects in the social reality of the country. The agenda setting of Plan V (www.planv.com.ec), Código Vidrio (www.codigovidrio.com) and Mil hojas (www.milhojas.is) will be analyzed to establish its relationship with the agenda of international donors.

Analysis of the evolution of the use of hypertext on Spanish digital newspapers. Two decades after the first Spanish news sites, the authors studied the level of maturity of the use of semantic links as well as the most significant changes and trends when using these resources. To achieve this objective, a retrospective longitudinal empirical analysis of the use of hyperlinks is performed, covering the professional practice between 2002 and 2016. The research included six online news: three top-ranked national newspapers, and three local news sites, an area barely studied among researchers studying hypertext. The overall number of semantic links is 22,296, all of them included in 4,620 home-page news stories. 4,830 links appearing within the text body received an extensive analysis.

On the Internet, the reader can participate in journalistic information through comments, which have become an interesting source of data to analyze the opinion of the audiences on current scientific and health. The present work carries out a content analysis of a sample of 2,394 news comments about the relationship between red and processed meats and cancer in elpais.com. The comments do not contribute to a more complete version of the journalistic report. The debate is distorted towards other issues. Commenters rely on their personal experience and stereotypes to reject scientific evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work starts up from the consideration that there is a great amount of accusations made to the media about the use of positive stereotypes as well as negative ones when presenting communications about elderly people. However, in most of the cases there are not conclusive evidences. In order to highlight those stereotypes, some aspects have been created and defined, the, so called «stereotype frame». With the aim of establish if they are present or not in the news about the elderly in the digital press in Castilla and Leon whose content is related to the elderly people, as this region is one of the Spanish eldest regions in Europe. After revising the stereotype literature about the elderly, 21 items have been set that define those five 'stereotype aspects'. Later on, through a content analysis, we have tested that the factorial structure of five aspects initially proposed is reproduced. On the other hand, it was proved that the psycho personal aspect, especially for the elderly women, as well as the sociological aspect is more frequent and they both are linked to sensationalist aspects of the media but it is the economical aspect the one which is more deeply associated to elderly's negative image as linked to aids and social backing.

Introduction. The research analyzes 6 scientific and pseudoscientific magazines in terms of web 2.0 tool usage and informational treatment. Methodology. The digital ecosystem of the journals is explored and described, and subsequently a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of 232 units is elaborated. This sample is probabilistic and selected randomly from a universe of 1,434 publications of the journal web, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram accounts. Results and conclusions. The results show that use of 2.0 resources is basic and features of social networks are hardly exploited. In addition, although many images are used, news are not accompanied by videos, info-graphics or other types of interactive resources. The information treatment presents a need of improvement, more news should be accompanied by their authorship and the source of images more often captioned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the initial literature devoted to online journalism the use of hypertext was studied; however, this topic has received little attention since then. Nevertheless, in the last few years there has been renewed interest from several points of view. At the same time, inconsistencies in the application of hypertext criteria in news reporting has been observed. In this article we discuss the current state of the topic of hypertext in journalism.

The present article offers a proposal of deconstruction of the news to adapt it to the new media placing the focus in the audiovisual -up of the textual-, incorporating the key ingredients of the digital environment (multimediality, hypertextuality, interactivity) and fixing paths through links and comments that allow both personalization with different levels of deepening as the integration of readers-users in the new communication paradigm of the digital world. Thus, we propose to change the inverted pyramid that has marked the rules of Journalism in the last century for a Rubik's Cube that still use the 5W as a gateway to the transmedia news, in which each question can work as a hook and activate the multimedia and interactive itinerary that guides us inside the renewed information cube.

Introduction. Dissemination is a cross-cutting activity within universities so the analysis of how media cover university news becomes a relevant issue in order to understand how public image of higher education institutions is being configured. Method. This work applies a mixed methodology, quantitative -content analysis- and qualitative -ethnographic study-, on a sample of 3137 news published between January and September 2016 in two digital newspapers of national scope and 13 regional / local scope newspapers, regarding 23 Spanish universities. Results and conclusions. The results suggest that media scope strongly influence the coverage. While national media carry out deeper analysis of news items, giving more visibility to university experts and including cyberjournalism resources; Regional and local newspapers are more dependent on calls and press releases from university press offices, they mainly report on university events and barely use cyber-journalism resources.

Introduction: Online journalism finds in interactive nonfiction an appropriate place for the development of stories. The media adopt new interactive and hybrid forms to face the challenge of the Internet and to respond to the needs of more active and permanently connected audiences. Methodology: In this article, the results of the qualitative analysis of ten interactive documentaries published by international media between the years 2010 and 2016 are presented. At the same time, renewal trends in journalism are identified along with the proposal of parameters based on the characterization of this narrative form. Results and conclusions: Interactive documentary is in a diversification phase, already consolidated in countries like France, the United States and Canada. With reference to the features of the genre, a notable development and an outstanding potential have been perceived, in contrast to the challenge that represents a changing context.

Journalists and communicators are imbued with digital culture, today. A communication professional, who is not interactive and who does not use multimedia and multiplatform is not conceived as one of them. They should be prepared to develop and innovate in the digital environments of the information society. This means that it requires specific training that integrates the technological advances of communication in all areas. Universities have a fundamental role in this development. From the analysis of the curricula of thirty universities with professional careers in Communication and Journalism, a research has been carried out in order to know how this digital culture is being integrated in the teaching of communication in Peru. The initial stage of digital literacy has been overcome, and cyber-journalistic literacy has extended its specialized training radio to audiovisual and marketing communication areas.

The ethical codes of information, considered as a systematic set of principles, norms, criteria and precepts emanated and accepted by the professional collective of journalism for self-discipline or self-control of its members in the exercise of their activity, mark the behavior to be followed by journalists with their audiences, as well as intra-professional relations (among journalists themselves). The consolidation of a reality such as cyberjournalism implies the appearance of new ethical and deontological challenges for the journalistic profession, a circumstance that is reinforced in the environment known as web 2.0. In order to face these challenges, we can observe the gradual and growing implementation of different ethical codes in both Spanish and Latin American cyberjournalism, usually coming from different professional organizations and institutions.

This article presents a study of journalistic genres in ten political news blogs (j-blog) integrated at reference newspapers web in Brazil and Spain. From a systematic open observation and from the web content analysis of 977 posts, the study results point to the use of the opinion gender in greater proportion of entries than informational and interpretive genres. In addition, journalists-bloggers still prefer traditional genres of newspapers to those created with the evolution of online journalism. Moreover, these professionals contribute to the creation of new cyberjournalistic genres, such as mobile short briefing note. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The transformation of traditional journalism into online journalism has brought with it a process of translating paper-based formats and procedures into online ones. The first digital teams incorporated the different journalistic genres, with special features about planned events such as election processes, galas, awards ceremonies and musical festivals. Since 2005, Elpais.com has continuously published special features devoted to both the Goya and Oscar awards. The observation and analysis of those interactive and multimedia features provides insight not only into the evolution of stories in digital media, but also into the definition and emergence of an interactive genre of digital media such as the story or feature divided into phases.

Nano-media have become one of the successful business models of blogs and have started a new information trend that has consolidated since the birth of the main services about ten years ago. This article revises the origins of the nano medium, starting with the initial concepts about the use of blogs, and analyses how they have evolved, taking as the main parameters their commercial development, volume of business, and search for a distinctive identity in opposition to the major online media. These parameters are especially characteristic of a cyberjournalism which is independent from mainstream media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital news media-and, together with them, the scholarly research on this phenomenon- are entering their third decade. Throughout the years, research on online journalism has progressed and diversified considerably. However, some areas could still achieve further development. The author proposes five ideas to give a boost to this research discipline in the next decade: 1) move towards a digital native research framework; 2) use advanced technologies in research; 3) focus on research that encourages innovation; 4) increase the amount of analytical research, instead of descriptive studies; and 5) investigate unexplored topics and areas.

The attitudes of "digital natives" (Prensky, 2001) towards the consumption of online content are examined in this paper to identify the factors that influence credibility and trust in news in the Web. For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied to a sample of journalism students at Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche. The results demonstrate that traditional factors such as clarity, correctness and credibility of sources remain decisive in user selection and confidence, despite changing interests and patterns of information access in the digital context.

This paper takes the learning theories from the digital era to think about the professional training of "cyberjournalists". From the professional experiences of journalists that work in digital enviroments, we problematize the categorization of knowledge proposed by connectivism (Siemens, 2006). Based on interviews, we argue that connectivism's categorization of digital knowledge, know where and know to transform, do not replace the traditional journalist way of knowledge but it makes the professional training more complex. As a conclusion, we reflect on the category of "connective knowledge" and we think about the new needed skills under the actual consolidation of the cyberjournalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción. El artículo analiza los editoriales de periódicos on line de cinco países europeos con el objetivo principal de realizar una radiografía de sus characterísticas y su grado de adaptación a la red. Metodología. Se estudiaron los editoriales publicados en El País, The Times, Le Monde, Diario de Noticias y Corriere della Sera a través del análisis de contenido. Resultados. El editorial mantiene en la red una posición privilegiada y diferenciada entre los artículos de opinión de los medios revisados; además, retiene su función como voz institucionalizada del medio. Discusión. Visto lo anterior, pese a la importancia del editorial, su rol como orientador de la opinión pública ante asuntos de actualidad se ve oscurecido por su función como actor político. Conclusiones. El editorial conserva las characterísticas formales y de contenido tradicionales del género con una escasa adaptación a la red y posibilidades de participación del ciudadano.
