Introduction: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the mechanism through which organizations integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their corporate strategies. On the other hand, the communication of responsibility and commitment initiatives with citizens is an important factor in achieving social legitimacy for the company. Moreover, digital communication tools, including corporate podcast, are powerful allies for disseminating a corporate brand message aligned with sustainability, commitment and social responsibility. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to analyze how the banking sector uses corporate podcast as a tool for communicating content related to the SDGs. Methodology: A content analysis of the headlines and explanatory texts of the podcast deliveries issued by the largest financial institutions in Spain during the year 2022 was carried out. Results: 36.1% of the podcasts analyzed address the SDGs, with 12 of the 17 SDGs set by the United Nations being represented. Discussion: The results show a significant use of corporate podcasts as a SDGs communication tool, which is consistent with companies' growing commitment to a more engaged communication linked to CSR. Conclusions: This research represents a further step in understanding how organizations use the communicative possibilities provided by digital platforms, specifically podcasts, to communicate CSR-related issues.

Introduction: Innovation in undertaking responsible and sustainable business models is currently at the top of the list of the European Union's priorities, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations in its international Agenda expected to be reached by 2030. The creation and development of activities, projects, and companies aware of their impact on the planet in the short, medium, and long term, generate much more value when this leadership comes from a female entrepreneurial vocation, by enriching and optimising the value of diversity in the management of resources, traditionally directed by the male ecosystem. Methodology: a methodological triangulation is applied through in-depth interviews with international key informants, analysis of digital contents in the regions of Andalusia (Spain) and Aveiro (Portugal) and the review of previous scientific literature. Results: The new Spanish-Portuguese startups are still mostly led by men, while the share of female entrepreneurial leadership represents the 26.5% of the total sample. Discussion: although there is a wide range of improvement in presence and communication, women are increasing their entrepreneurial and innovative activity. In any case, co-responsibility with the community and care for the environmental legacy are still latent values for professional differentiation. Conclusions: the research highlights current international objective data on entrepreneurial corporate digital communication, providing a complete picture of the reality of women who are committing to business models whose mission, vision and values are focused on sustainabilit [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the following document we will discuss how the implementation of digital tools and transmedia narratives can generate a significant contribution to the appropriation of knowledge by users. Recognize the levels of significance of all the actors involved in the community, allows us to understand how participatory and collaborative dynamics bring us closer to the democratization of knowledge. To understand both the process of appropriation of knowledge and the relationship that exists between society and technology, it is necessary to define the process of appropriation in a conceptual way, the media ecosystem in which the media narratives are linked and the relationship that exists between digital technology, transmedia narratives and the processes of appropriation of knowledge in users.

To continue fulfilling the imperative need to generate and transfer knowledge and innovation, universities must meet the growing demands of a society that is undergoing an unstoppable process of global digital migration. In this sense, since its creation in 2009 to the present, the Platform for Innovation and Experimentation in Digital Diversity (PIEDD) of the University of Santiago de Compostela has carried out R&D projects in technology innovation and vocational training in the context of design, generation and management of all kinds of digital content, which constitutes a pioneering experience of collaboration between almost one hundred prestigious researchers working from as heterogeneous and concomitant disciplinary fields as computer sciences, ICT, applied physics, mathematics, journalism and audio-visual communication and advertising.

This article presents the results of a study on the current and future use of different online communication techniques by Spanish advertisers, as well as their perception of the level of digital competence of professionals working in the advertising sector. Methods: The study is based on an online survey applied to a national sample of 301 advertising and marketing directors working for a variety of Spanish companies in terms of size, geographical scope and sector of activity. Results and conclusions: Companies are expected to gradually increase their budget for digital marketing and, thus, the advertising sector is expected to experience greater professionalisation and greater demand for experts in new technologies and digital communication. At present, advertisers are developing communication strategies that are based on traditional and easy-to-implement online communication techniques, leaving aside the more sophisticated techniques whose implementation requires more qualified and specialised professionals. In this sense, there is a lack of training in digital skills in the sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. This article offers an analysis of "clickbait", one of the latest strategies employed by online news media to lure users into clicking a hyperlink through the use of non-journalistic values. Methods. The study is based on the analysis of the news headlines found on the front and inner pages of general-information newspapers of the 28 EU member countries. Results. The main consequence of the use of clickbait is that the news headline has gone from being just a key element to provide information to also crucial element to persuade the reader to stay on the page for as long as possible. Discussion. The results confirm the presence of clickbait in most of the newspapers analysed, to the detriment of traditional journalistic values in the writing and editing of headlines. Conclusions. The study concludes that general-information newspapers in the 28 EU member countries generate clicks not through quality content but rather, in nearly half the cases, through catchy, provocative and sensationalist front-page headlines that aim to exploit the curiosity in users.

Introduction: Social networks represent an opportunity for communication management in museums. This work analyses the joint initiative of five museums on Twitter during the most important milestone events of the year for the sector: The International Museum Day and the Night of Museums. The relevance of the study lies in the confluence of different disciplines and approaches: the humanities, corporate communication, digital communication and public relations. Moreover, these types of institutions are not a common object of study, despite their great relevance in the museum sector: The Lázaro Galdiano Museum; The Museum of Romanticism; The Cerralbo Museum; The National Museum of Decorative Arts; and The Sorolla Museum. Methods: The study is based on the content analysis of the Twitter accounts of the aforementioned museums as means to evaluate the campaign's content management and generation of participation in the social network. Results and Conclusions: The results indicate these museums need to develop a more defined strategy that takes advantage of the potential of social networking sites, given that content is not used as a strategy and user participation is not as high as expected during these very relevant events.
