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 text aims, firstly, to present the results of a research conducted between 2005 and 2010 by the Centre for Communication and Health (InCom-UAB) in order to know how to deal with Spanish newspaper reports on HIV/AIDS; secondly, to account for the actions of Red 2002 to try to influence the media agenda and the making of information in order to avoid erroneous newspaper accounts, partial or stigmatizing. The research is part of the content analysis and has a goal of social intervention. [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]

The newspaper front page is a preferential media space where the journalistic selection and hierarchy are explicitly reflected. This article presents the results of a longitudinal study of the evolution of the Spanish media agenda, based on the analysis of two of the most important Spanish newspapers: El País and Abc, which have different editorial lines. The examination of these newspapers focuses on the identification of the main issues, actors, territories and degree of homogeneity of their main front-page news stories. The study of the evolution of the front-page agenda of these newspapers covered a three-decade period, from 1980 to 2010. A total of 800 news items were subjected to content analysis for this study. The results demonstrate, on the one hand, that there is a significant presence of issues and actors related to institutional policy and, on the other hand, that the Spanish press lacks an international perspective and is focused on national current affairs.

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.

The news published in Deia, El Correo, El País and Gara media about gender violence in the Basque Country during the period 2002-2009 are the subject of analysis of this text. The aim of this study is, first, comparing the recommendations on the coverage of the gender-based violence have been made from different organizations and its application in journalism and, secondly, to compare different discourse strategies each of the media. This research is part of a larger study on treatment of violence in the media funded by the Spanish MICINN (reference CS02010-19855). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a discursive analysis of gender representations on women in La Voz del Interior, the newspaper of the city of Córdoba, in some issues published during two socio-political compared periods, the brief democratic period 1973-1976 and the period of the military dictatorship of 1976-1983.

Controversy has been a relevant element in the coverage of climate change. Several studies emphasize the influence of economic, political, and journalistic factors in the portrayal of controversies on this topic, along the last few decades. Very often this was related to the lobbying action of several political and economic interest groups and resulted in the portrayal of a distorted image of the scientific knowledge on this topic. This paper presents some results of a research project on information about climate change in the Spanish media (*). It analyzes the role of controversy in the current situation of strong scientific consensus on the existence and origin of climate change, through some content analysis of the coverage of the Copenhagen summit on climate change, in December 2009, in the two leading Spanish newspapers (El País and El Mundo). Results indicate that controversy still plays a relevant role in the coverage of this topic, and it is related to the editorial line of each newspaper. When controversy receives ample attention, it is portrayed mainly by means of opinion articles and it is linked to a restrictive presence of the scientific point of view. Balance is used as a legitimization tool, when it is useful to support the editorial line. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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).

The pressure of audiovisual hegemony in transmitting reality has forced the press to give a spectacular character to its content. There has been a notable evolution in design and also in narrative conception. Melodrama, entertainment or impact have acquired a scale that relegates depth and interpretation into the background. Within this change, accident and crime reports, far from being an exception, have become one of the cutting-edge areas. This is confirmed in this article, which analyses the evolution of style and journalistic genres in the Spanish quality newspapers (El País, ABC, El Mundo, Diario 16, La Vanguardia de Barcelona, El Periódico de Catalunya and El Correo Español-El Pueblo Vasco) in their coverage of eleven of the main big accidents, natural disasters and crimes that occurred in Spain between 1977 and 2000.

The article analyses the beginnings of environmental journalism, particularly opinion genres in the printed press. To do so, it takes as a focal point the campaign run by the regional newspaper Las Provincias against the urbanization of La Dehesa de El Saler in 1973 and 1974. The study focuses on the columns written by its journalists and collaborators, as well as its "letters to the editor", recognizing that the newspaper managed to create an outlook that promoted the protection of these coastal woodlands. It was to become the first major campaign to deal with an environmental issue in the Spanish press. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a case study that examines formal, stylistic and functional characteristics of the Web-only special features of three Spanish quality newspaper sites. The research, conducted in the framework of the author's doctoral dissertation, employs a mixed methodology based on an analysis of their links and their hypertextual structure, as well as on interviews with the editors concerned. The results show an extensive use of the technique of non-linear and multimedia writing, as well as specific narrative patterns that require further creative skills. These findings make it possible to understand why this type of production is today one of the main values in the informative and business strategy of the most popular online media. From a less pragmatic point of view, the case studies confirm the potential of this type of microsite for developing stories in depth, which supposes an enriching of the traditional genre of the feature or special report. The article discusses the implication of these findings for reporting practice and the need for further research about the impact of the Internet on the principles of journalism genres.

This study interprets various aspects of the exercise of freedom of expression. It reviews the historical trajectory of headlines and of terms such as argumentation, persuasion, legitimation and delegitimation in order to characterize the criteria behind the creation of headlines in Spanish language printed media. It describes the difference between American and European criteria as a function of criteria such as the semiotics and semantics which they use, the reazoning and the product they generate, the dimension of revelation, the orientation of the news item, the tools of argumentation and the purposes of the published news piece.

The purpose of this study was to examine the portrayal of women and men in a Spanish daily newspaper and to find whether there were gender differences among the authors of the articles in said newspaper. A content analysis was conducted of 4,060 articles and advertisements from 24 issues of a randomly selected, large-circulation, Spanish newspaper. Men were found to be more commonly featured in the articles, photographs, and advertisements than women, and they would usually be soldiers, athletes or high-rank businessmen much more often than women were. Furthermore, we determined that the reporters writing the articles were more likely to be men than women. And, in addition, men were more likely to be cited as sources than women.

The article looks at the biculturalization of Tejanos in San Antonio and Lardeo, Texas, focusing on the role of Spanish-language newspaper advertisements. The transmission of stereotypical middle-class Anglo-American imagery within the advertisements of Spanish-language newspapers is discussed. Social conditions of Mexicans and Mexican Americans living in ethnic communities in Texas during the early 1900s are considered. Weekly publications reviewed include San Antonio's "El Regidor" and Laredo's "La Cronica."

The aim of this article is to analyse which role fiction plays in columns, specifically the practice known as self-fiction in the literary research field. It consists of the creation of a fictitious personality with the same name and surnames as the author's. On the other hand, I will study why columns and short fiction can be swapped. This research will be based on the columns that the writer Empar Moliner publishes in the newspaper Avui. That will allow me to check the experimental nature of this genre and the persuasive value of fiction when used with an argumentative purpose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For students of Journalism in university departments of communication there exists a debate to what the curriculum should be limited too. There are a long list of illustrious personalities from contemporary journalism that make it difficult to easily define the boundaries or limits of study. One of these is José Jiménez Lozano, although he studied to be a lawyer the internationally renowned writer was a journalist by profession. What are the similarities between journalism and literature? Could a writer be a journalist and a journalist a writer? An analysis of his first works in the newspaper El Norte de Castilla, the themes of his writings and how he addresses these themes will help to offer some answers to these questions.

The press played a key role in Spain's transition to democracy in the seventies. Some publications, like the weekly newspaper ''Cambio 16,'' were particularly influential because of their early success. Unfortunately, research about the magazines' origin is scarce, in spite of the fact that scholars consider ''Cambio 16'' as a crucial publication for its contribution to the Spanish democratic process.

The digital media hasproven successful with a specific type of information which is of great interest to those readers, accustomed to using diverse technology that furnishes them with the news on a variety of platforms: internet newspapers, information on social networks, informative documents on video, etc. This article studies how the blogs have created their own niche among the readers of digital press and how they have been incorporated into the digital newspapers to the point where they now have their own section. A special study is also made of the main Spanish digital daily papers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work aims to analyse the coverage of the 2008 torch lighting ceremony throughout the newspapers El Pais, La Vanguardia and El Mundo, the video delivered by the public regional channel Televisio de Catalunya and the private television CNN Plus. This research also includes a study of the Yahoo webpage devoted to the Beijing Olympic Games and the videos that YouTube indexed in Spanish language referring to the lighting ceremony. In the Spanish media, the protests were given greater significance than the symbolism and ceremony surrounding this unique sporting event. Spanish newspapers emphasized the protests during the torch ceremony, giving a geopolitical slant to the occasion rather than treating it as a sporting event. YouTube constructed for the searches in Spanish an image of lighting ceremony in which the incident played an important role together with domestic videos of the Olympic flame carried through the streets of Buenos Aires days after the lighting ceremony.

This article deals with the Spanish media construction of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a complex reality which television only portrays in an incomplete way despite hundreds of hours of broadcasts devoted to Olympic coverage. Most of this criticism, present in the Spanish media the weeks before the Olympics, was eclipsed by a sporting spectacle that became virtually the only star of the show throughout the celebration of the games. The audiovisual production of the opening and closing ceremonies directed the remarks made by commentators who only narrated what viewers could see. There was a lack of in-depth analysis of what viewers were watching. The media's hero-preparation process started a while before these games and was consolidated during the ceremony with their presentation to viewers. The closing ceremony became homage to the winners. Finally, private television Telecinco was slightly more critical of China and the Spanish doping case, Isabel Moreno, than the public television station TVE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The journalist usually introduces the voices of different people—sources, witnesses, and protagonists—into the writing of the news. This makes studying how oral discourse is translated into writing, along with the consequent ethical implications that this implies, a very interesting field within journalism. This article, limited to Spain, shows that while newspaper stylebooks and news-writing manuals require that direct quotes be textual transcriptions of the words of the person quoted, research conducted by Spanish scholars whose background is in linguistics shows that direct quotes in print media sometimes change with respect to the actual words used by the quoted speaker. This creates two problems: first, the risk that some readers may interpret erroneously the direct quotes in the news, as literal transcriptions of the words said, when that is not always the case. Second, that news-writing textbooks do not train journalists for the use of others' voices in the news they report. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the results of a research project conducted between 2005 and 2008 by the Center for Communication and Health (InCom-UAB) and commissioned by Red2002 [2] with the aim of analyzing the treatment of the HIV/AIDS in the Spanish newspapers. The research project involves content analysis. Its results show that the media's agenda is marked by events and that, over time, not only do they write less about HIV/AIDS, but they also explain and contextualize less. On the other hand, however, they do not establish such a strong relationship between HIV / AIDS and death and make more use of the NGOs as sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper offers a programmatic proposal for the characterisation, or profiling, of editorials from the Spanish newspaper El País on the dimension of the explicit signalling of intersentential relations for purposes of comparison. The study adopts an integrated discourse as process approach to the description of language, in conjunction with some of the basic tenets of corpus linguistics. The paper advocates strict specificity and differentiation of text types in such studies and a rigorous respect for the intrasentential, the intersentential and the interparagraph segmentation which authors impose on their texts. Figures are offered for the frequency of selected connectors in a corpus of one whole year of editorials from this newspaper, together with information relating to their sentence and paragraph position. Additional consideration is given to important alternative means for the expression of intersentential relations and to questions related to corpus extent in studies of this nature.

The behavior and attitudes adopted by the Spanish press during the period of transition to democracy (November 1975 to December 1978), a time when the most relevant political and institutional changes in that process occurred, are analyzed in this article. The role of the major newspapers is explained from several perspectives, as are the reasons that prompted them to reach a consensus on the fundamental topics of public debate. The result is a demonstration of how the mass media were decisive in helping to build a new political community based on democracy. Using several daily newspapers as examples -taken one by one and as a whole- the author explains the special characteristics of this interesting case of cooperation between political power and journalism. Several exceptions are included as well, such as the extreme right-wing press and the Basque nationalist sectors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Spain's new film law, which is still in Parliament, is the basis for this article. It is a long and costly piece of legislation that has sparked confrontation and an ideological showdown between the country's two leading newspapers: El País and El Mundo. We find an excess of information, almost always considered relevant. However, it does not respond to the needs and interests of the public (which knows little or nothing about the issue), but to the partisan, business and political interests of the newspapers themselves and the business groups that support them. El País offers a governmental and "official" view of the bill, echoing the position of producers, who are one of the sectors that will benefit the most from the new law. El Mundo, for its part, reflects the opinion of the sector that is most controversial and critical of the project; that is, distributors, exhibitors and television in particular.

Regional newspapers in Spain have experienced a period of stability and prosperity over the last two decades. But across the last five years, increasing media competition and declining circulation figures have diminished Spain's regional newspaper industry bonanza and the sector is now actively implementing new strategies. This paper analyses the implementation of multimedia and convergence strategies at the two larger Spanish regional media groups: Vocento and Prensa Iberica. Using a case study methodology, the authors provide a perspective on how these regional newspapers have turned into multimedia groups and consider the main difficulties they have encountered along the way and they are still facing. Most Spanish regional newspapers are becoming multimedia groups, which integrate print, radio, television and online platforms. Newspaper publishers have developed strategies that include: the empowering of multimedia newsrooms that provide stories regardless of media platform or distribution method; aggressive cross-promotion; equalizing perceptions of status between newspaper, audiovisual and online workers; utilizing the online service for breaking news that occurs off-publication cycle and encouraging print-side staff members to generate content for exclusive use online.

The fast and successful penetration in society of the so-called social networks in the past two or three years has alarmed the traditional media. The new phenomenon reaches a wider audience, enhances advertising, achieves customization, and breaches some of the barriers of traditional media. The new communication channel is used already by millions of Internet users as their main source of information and entertainment. This research paper analyses the structure of eleven global social networks, which feature contents in Spanish and other languages, in relation to the electronic version (eversion) of the main Spanish newspapers. The aim is to prove if the so-called social networks are a new type of media, a new platform for social relationships and post-media contents, which look more like the audiovisual media than the traditional newspapers.

The article presents an editorial written on June 15, 1977 by Juan Luis Cebrían, the founding editor of the Spanish newspaper "El País." The editorial was written on the night of the first democratic elections in Spain. Cebrían talks about how smoothly the elections went, despite the popular opinion that the Spaniards were not ready for democracy. He discusses the effects of the regime change and the future of post-Franco Spain.

¿Es necesario recordar que la función y el compromiso de introducir, aclarar, explicitar el mensaje de la prensa, e incluso orientar a los lectores hacia la vía de la "buena" recepción corresponde a los actos de lenguaje sustentados por los verba dicenci? De la concepción de la vida social como un inmenso laberinto interlocutivo, se desprende el enorme relieve que adquiere la palabra pronunciada y transferida por la prensa escrita -franco-española, por ejemplo-, y muy particularmente los verbos relateurs. El objeto de este análisis, fundamentalmente semántico, será esta clase de ítems "secundarios" -por la frecuencia-, a veces colaterales, que precisamente por su función forman parte de la clase citada, pero cuyo semantismo les es, frecuentemente, extraño. Son los olvidados de la escena analítica, cuya actualización se revela, empero, indispensable, por motivos no sólo de variación paradigmática, sino también y sobre todo de expresividad, reflexibilidad lingüística e incluso de virtualidad pragmática, paráfrasis reducrivas.

The veil debate is a paradigmatic example of the complicated political, social and media issue raised by multiculturalism. In this article I analyze the main arguments in favour and against the use of hijab in general, and specifically to its use in school. At the same time, I will examine the Spanish debate on the veil, which took place in 2002, when Fatima, a Moroccan girl, tried to attend school wearing the hijab. I will centre my analysis on editorials published by the three main Spanish newspapers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital photography when applied to the communications media and in particular to the written press takes on certain specific characteristics. Its fluid circulation on the net, its availability and in particular its format, which does not necessarily demand excellent, flawless quality in order to be reproduced, raises certain questions of great interest which have still not been analysed in depth. The large number of web sites which invite amateurs (as well as professionals) to post their photographs, free of all rights, thus making them available for any use whatsoever, raises serious problems for the companies engaged in the creation and marketing of images, as well as for the leading information and news agencies. The impact of digital photography on the press (immediacy, analysis, stockpiling and collection) are so extraordinary that they stir up continuous controversy among professionals. As regards their application, an analysis is made in this study, using the leading Spanish daily newspapers as the references, bearing in mind their quantity, types of images, illustrated sections, page design and other factors which have been considered fundamental.

The data that we submit in this article are the result of a content analysis focused on the visual representation of immigration through related photographs appearing on the major Spanish newspapers. This research is part of a broader project aiming at the treatment of immigration in the news. From the outcomes obtained, bearing in mind the Framing Theory as theoretical basis, it can be affirmed that coverage given to each one of the participants taking part in the immigration (police officers, politicians, and immigrants themselves) is different. In the same way, there are differences, regarding immigration topics, among the different Spanish newspapers which mainly depend upon the newspaper's editorial (progressive vs. conservative) or the type of paper (prestige press vs. tabloids).
