La condición socio-económica de los hogares en Colombia es un factor que condiciona la posibilidad de acceder a internet. Durante la contingencia sanitaria Covid-19, en Colombia se ha evidenciado la existencia de una brecha tecnológica en favor del estrato económico alto en relación a los segmentos económicos medio y bajo. El uso de internet se convirtió en un mecanismo esencial para trabajar e interactuar durante los períodos de confinamiento derivados de la pandemia. En consecuencia, el uso de los dispositivos utilizados para estar conectado a internet ha permitido observar la forma en que cada segmento poblacional accede a internet según su posición económica. El estudio acá documentado tuvo por propósito identificar los dispositivos que utilizan jóvenes residentes en Colombia para acceder a internet durante la contingencia sanitaria de la Covid-19, considerando su condición socio-económica. También se quiso establecer si existen diferencias en las frecuencias y tiempo de uso de las redes sociales y de los medios radio y televisión (vía internet). Se aplicaron cuestionarios on-line (en línea) en jóvenes, primero en 1419 participantes, luego en 810 individuos. Se encontró que el factor socio-económico sí incide en el consumo de internet y de redes sociales en la población juvenil colombiana, y que existen variaciones significativas entre el consumo de las diversas redes sociales, considerando la estratificación social. El consumo de televisión supera a la escucha de la radio. Según los resultados, se evidencia que cada segmento poblacional tiene sus preferencias en lo que respecta a uso de dispositivos y de redes sociales.

Este artículo propone reflexiones metodológicas y teóricas a partir del proyecto interdisciplinario “Identidades algorítmicas”. Iniciado en 2019 entre investigadores de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile y la Universidad de Warwick (Reino Unido), busca comprender cómo la persona es configurada en tiempos de algoritmos y datos digitales. Para ello, diseñamos un prototipo de aplicación, llamada Big Sister, que emula los sistemas de elaboración de perfiles y recomendaciones algorítmicas de las grandes plataformas digitales. Este prototipo ha servido de dispositivo de investigación social en un doble sentido: por un lado, nos permitió producir conocimiento en un hacer y deshacer crítico y descolonial; por otro lado, a través de entrevistas de rastros digitales con participantes usuarios del prototipo, pudimos explorar en sus experiencias y estimular la reflexión acerca de las mediaciones de algoritmos en sus vidas. En este artículo, examinamos el proceso de prototipado de esta aplicación y algunos hallazgos sobre cómo personas en Chile comprenden, habitan y dan forma cotidianamente a datos y algoritmos. Recogiendo elementos de autores latinoamericanos como Arturo Escobar, Jesús Martín-Barbero y Paulo Freire, argumentamos que el prototipado de una aplicación puede avanzar hacia una aproximación “problematizadora” de la datificación y los sistemas algorítmicos en Latinoamérica.

El desafío que plantea YouTube en la prensa no solo afecta a las empresas sino también a los profesionales, especialmente a los más jóvenes, que han visto cómo tenían que prepararse para una nueva audiencia en la era de los medios digitales (Newman et al., 2019). Tras un estudio preliminar sobre la presencia de periodistas en YouTube (Blanco y Palomo, 2019), esta investigación analiza cómo se desenvuelven aquellos profesionales que desarrollan contenidos en la plataforma. Para ello, se realizan nueve entrevistas en profundidad con los periodistas más exitosos para entender cómo interactúan con sus audiencias, y se actualizan los datos recogidos para medir la evolución de sus canales. Los resultados concluyen que, a pesar del bajo número de iniciativas individuales en YouTube, quienes trabajan su canal con rigor, a largo plazo y de forma constante logran un importante crecimiento de hasta siete veces en el número de visitas.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar los resultados sobre el uso cooperativo de Facebook obtenidos en una prueba de desempeño para planificar textos académicos en esquemas de redacción. La asignatura fue Nivelación de Redacción de la Universidad Tecnológica del Perú (UTP) y se trabajó con dos grupos de trabajo, cada uno constituido por 25 estudiantes. El diseño de este estudio fue cuasiexperimental y cuantitativo. El muestreo fue no probabilístico por conveniencia. El instrumento de recolección de datos fue una rúbrica de tres dimensiones: contenido, estructura y formulación. Los datos procesados a través del SPSS-25 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences versión 25) evidenciaron que, en el experimento, la media obtenida en el postest alcanzó el nivel Destacado respecto al nivel Estándar del grupo de control. Con ello se afirmó que el estudiantado del experimento logró utilizar ideas pertinentes, suficientes y de acuerdo con el tema elegido. De la misma manera, escribió las ideas correctamente y pudo ordenarlas de forma jerárquica en la elaboración del esquema de redacción a través del trabajo cooperativo y autónomo, aspecto que en condiciones regulares es difícil de desarrollar. Por ello, la investigación recomendó a dicha universidad implementar plataformas no institucionales tales como las redes sociales, amigables para el estudiantado, en sus cursos de Redacción, sobre todo a los que son de apertura educativa, no solo como repositorios de información y de consulta sino además como parte integral de la metodología de la enseñanza de la escritura.

Public controversies are an analytical opportunity to study the emergence of issues, the creation and alliance of actors, as well as the articulation of public arenas (politics, society, activism, academia, etc.). This paper analyzes how two actors in Spanish academia emerged, and how they became an expression of the polarized conflict on prostitution, sex work, and sex trafficking. Through a case study, this work traces the emergence and consolidation in the public space of the #universidadsincensura initiative and the International Academic Network for the Study of Prostitution and Pornography (Red Académica Internacional de Estudios sobre Prostitución y Pornografía, Raiepp). Methodologically, the technique of controversy mapping is applied through an analysis of the flrst phase of the controversy on Twitter with the hashtags #universidadsincensura and #universidadsinprastituáon and the monitoring of the platform's activities based on active participation in the #universidadsincensura initiative. The analysis shows that both actors emerge in line with the logics of the mediatized public space linked to a presence in media and networks. Endowed with different degrees of institutionalization, Raiepp and #universidadsincensura form the same public, that of those directly or indirectly affected by the public problem surrounding the status of prostitution, for which they seek a solution through a process of enquiry and experimentation that defines democratic participation.

This research will analyse the use of Instagram from the perspective of uses and gratifications theory. The goal of the study was to know the motives for using Instagram and the role of individual differences in relation to the intrusion of Instagram (understood as an attachment and excessive participation in that social network). An online survey was carried out in which 401 people between 18 and 36 years old (73.1% women) residing in Spain who had an Instagram profile participated. The questionnaire contained several self-report scales to measure the motives for using Instagram, intrusion, and other individual differences measures (self-esteem, social comparison and envy). The results indicated that the main reasons for using Instagram were social interaction, creativity and documentation, and escape and self-promotion were the least relevant motives for our respondents. However, through a multiple linear regression analysis it was observed that the motives that predicted a greater intrusion of Instagram were the search for self-promotion and escape. Finally, it was observed that the orientation towards social comparison and self-esteem were associated with greater intrusion. Our study contributes to the literature on the study of social networks and, in particular, on the predictive factors that explain a more problematic use of Instagram, taking into account motivational variables and individual differences. In this way, our research clarifies the knowledge about the processes underlying the use of Instagram and introduces the concept of intrusion in uses and gratification research.

During the last decade, the Internet, and the social networks in particular, have gained relevance as spaces for interaction and socialization. The multiplication and penetration of social media, as well as the volume and intensity of interactions, have led to a migration of the public sphere towards these platforms. In this (apparently neutral) virtual context, where social networks contribute to the construction or amplification of social relations, the Internet is configured as a space of inequality where power relations and patriarchal practices are reproduced, amplified by the sensation of anonymity and its disinhibiting effect. This paper analyzes the presence of hate speech and misogyny in the Twitter conversation around 50 Spanish women with public visibility online and in the real world, belonging to diverse professional fields: science, communication, culture, sports, business, and politics. Based on an automated search for insults and other hate terms, a content analysis of the direct interactions and indirect mentions received by these women on this social platform over a period of 1 year was carried out. The results of this study highlight the toxicity of the Twittersphere for female users. Thus, 15% of direct interactions and 10% of indirect interactions directed at these women included some kind of insult or disqualification, although not necessarily of a sexist or misogynist nature. This violence is especially evident against women representatives of those areas with greater visibility and social influence such as communication and politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

University students interact and communicate using social media (SM) and develop online activities that define their profiles as users. This research investigates the uses of SM made by Colombian and Spanish students (N=501) to interact socially, while identifying their profiles associated with the activities they perform. A quantitative methodology of a descriptive nature is adopted, with a subsequent analysis of variance confirming the existence of statistically significant differences depending on the variables gender, age and nationality. The results show that university students stand out above their peers by having a greater presence, social activity and involvement in the SM, frequently perform tasks of updating their status, publishing messages, comments, videos or photographs, sending messages, visiting and valuing other people's accounts. This helps to outline profiles as creators and critics, and on the contrary, their peers adopt collector and viewer profiles. Heterogeneous profiles associated with age related to the interests of university students are observed. By nationality, there are differences in the widespread use of certain SM and in user profiles. Spaniards stand out for being creators and spectators, and Colombians prioritize creative and critical profiles. The SM establish their own formulas of expression, so university students should choose those that best fit their objectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The advent and rise of computer mediated communication, mainly of so-called social networks, ask for automated analytical capabilities to extract information and patterns from massive poorly structured data in order to anticipate future trends, events and actions. This area attracts both researchers and industries, with Linguistics, Computer Science, Psychology, Social Sciences or Statistics involved, among others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sharenting --dissemination on social networks of images and comments about children, minors, by their parents--, is a growing phenomenon (Kopecky et al., 2020; Bessant, 2018). The Covid-19 pandemic has increased the use of social networks, especially during the months of confinement. Social networks have helped to alleviate the separation, and to the extent that communication with family and friends has been frequent, they have also contributed to an increase in sharenting (Saud; Mashud; Ida, 2020). It is still unknown if this phenomenon is specific or if, on the contrary, confinement has contributed to changing social attitudes towards this parental activity (Bessant; Nottingham; Oswald, 2020). In any case, the need to reflect on the consequences and on the rights that come into play in sharenting has become evident. The research presented studies sharenting from the right to freedom of expression of parents, and the rights to private life of children under their guardianship and their digital identity; also from the perspective of the minor's vision of this parental activity. A review of the bibliography shows the variety of arguments that have expressed the modalities of balance between these rights present in sharenting. The research is completed with a survey of children and adolescents between 13 and 18 years old, carried out in March 2020. This is how we respond to the criticism of the studies on the rights of minors for not including their own vision (Cowden, 2016). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analyzes the use of social media sources by nine news outlets in Chile in regard to Covid-19. We identified the most frequently used types of sources, their evolution over time, and the differences between the various social media platforms used by the Chilean media during the pandemic. Specifically, we extracted 838,618 messages published by Chilean media on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter between January and December 2020. An initial machine learning (MA) process was applied to automatically identify 168,250 messages that included keywords that link their content to Covid-19. Based on a list of 2,130 entities, another MA process was used to apply a set of rules based on the appearance of declarative verbs or common expressions used by the media when citing a source, and the use of colons or quotation marks to detect the presence of different types of sources in the news content. The results reveal that Chilean media outlets' use of different voices on social media broadly favored political sources followed by health, citizen, academic-scientific, and economic ones. Although the hierarchy of the most important sources used to narrate the public health crisis tended to remain stable, there were nuances over time, and its variation depended on key historic milestones. An analysis of the use of sources by each platform revealed that Twitter was the least pluralist, giving space to a more restricted group of voices and intensifying the presence of political sources over the others, particularly citizen sources. Finally, our study revealed significant differences across media types in the use of political, health, and citizen sources, with television showing a greater presence than in other types of media.

Rare diseases are extremely severe, disabling pathologies. In total, 7% of the world's population suffers from a rare disease. To publicize their plight, people suffering from such diseases and their families have turned to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, among other social media platforms, as effective tools for sharing their problems, calling for greater investment in research and to cope with their day-to-day hardships. Symbols and representations defining rare diseases that have been established in the media and on social networking services have thus gained in prominence. This research asks what the emergence of the TikTok app, the second most downloaded in 2019 and the first in 2020, has meant for how these diseases are made visible. To answer this question, 2,750 TikTok posts with the 11 most popular hashtags related to rare diseases in six languages were analyzed between 1 January 2019 and 30 September 2020. The findings confirm that, against this highly personalized backdrop, the widespread use of TikTok is changing an already consolidated discourse of protest and fostering the creation of new codes with unpredictable results for the recognition and support needed by this marginalized community.

User behavior patterns when consuming and sharing information on social networks are analyzed, paying special attention to the effects of the type of presentation and the type of social network. As is common when analyzing activity on social networks, we used the experience sampling method, in which a group of volunteer participants are asked, at different times, a set of questions about their recent activity or experience. The sample consisted of 279 subjects. The results show that news requiring a greater effort is usually shared through closed networks, while in open networks there is a tendency to share more superficial information. No significant differences are found between the degree of reading of the news and the type of social network where it is shared. Moreover, the level of consumption does not influence the degree of reading of the shared material. The level of enjoyment of the news is found to influence its degree of reading. The differences between networks highlight that, on Facebook, the frequency of use influences the dynamics of consumption and sharing, with shared news being more emotional and useful. In contrast, in the case of Twitter, there is a greater preference for so-called soft information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study was carried out through an online questionnaire distributed to subscribers of the EDICIC list created by the Information Science Education and Research Association of Ibero-America and the Caribbean. The study's objectives were threefold: to determine (i) the level of usefulness of e-mail distribution lists compared with other systems that allow professionals and researchers to receive information useful for their daily work; (ii) the subscribers' opinion about these distribution lists' usefulness regarding the processes of sharing knowledge with their peers; and (iii) the satisfaction with the EDICIC list itself among its users. The results indicate the importance that distribution lists continue to have for the academic and professional world in comparison with other systems. They show themselves to be an efficacious source with which to stay current with colleagues' experience and know-how. Their informative capacity, their ease of use (subscribers passively receive messages in their inboxes), and their specialized nature (bringing together communities grouped into particular interests) make them useful tools for the scientific and academic community.

The streets of the Puebla City Downtown [PCD] are unusually narrow and have lots of misplaced potholes and damaged sewers. In addition, many peddlers occupy the sidewalks and make it difficult for pedestrians to move. This situation hinders mobility in this area. We consider it necessary to promote the common and sustainable use of urban public space. Therefore, we aimed at knowing how some agents manage the use of some of the PCD public spaces. We adopted Actor-Network Theory as a theoretical framework and carried out a quasi-ethnographic approach. We observed and interacted with agents who appropriated the public space and hindered urban mobility in the PCD. We present the "networked actions" deployed by these agents and offer some conceptual elements that must be considered to re-assemble the social and constructing a common world, which we call cosmos.

Crowdfunding (CF) is a financial tool that has faced an impressive growth over the past few years, and provides an alternative form of fundraising entrepreneurial projects. However, not all CF campaigns are successful in attracting the investors' interest and obtaining the pledging goal. As CF is built over internet platforms, digital marketing strategies have been used to improve awareness and engage people to contribute with small amounts of money for a given CF campaign. Hence, this paper intends to study the effect of social media and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) on the CF campaigns' outcomes and whether these digital marketing strategies might influence the small investors' decision to support or not a reward-based CF campaign. Using a sample of data from the second largest American reward-based CF platform (Indiegogo), we have applied the multiple OLS regression analysis, to assess the causal effect of various sets of variables in the success rate of a CF campaign. The findings show that social media and e-WOM strategies play a critical role and have a positive significant impact on a CF campaign. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article offers methodological and theoretical reflections based on the interdisciplinary project "Algorithmic Identities." Initiated in 2019 between researchers from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and the University of Warwick (UK), this project seeks to understand how personhood is configured in times of algorithms and digital data. We designed a prototype app, "Big Sister," which emulates algorithmic profiling and recommendation systems of major digital platforms. This prototype has served as a twofold social research device. Firstly, it allowed us to produce knowledge from a critical and decolonial doing and undoing; secondly, through digital trace interviews with prototype users, we explored their experiences and stimulate reflection on the mediations of algorithms in their lives. This article examines the prototyping process of this app and some findings of how people in Chile understand, inhabit, and shape data and algorithms daily. Drawing on insights from Latin American authors such as Arturo Escobar, Jesús Martín-Barbero, and Paulo Freire, we argue how the prototyping of an app can move towards a "problematizing" approach to datafication and algorithmic systems in Latin America.

Son varios los especialistas que han llamado la atención sobre la existencia de un cambio de paradigma en la mediación lectora en el que la escuela no es ya la principal prescriptora de lectura y las redes sociales y la web cobran cada vez más protagonismo. En el marco de esta cambiante situación, este trabajo se centra en un anuncio de la colonia de Calvin Klein “Eternity”, en el cual un poema de E. E. Cummings desempeña un papel fundamental. Puede ser, por tanto, considerado una manifestación particular de poesía ilustrada, desde el momento en que versos e imágenes se alían en la creación de sentido, como ocurre en el álbum poético. De hecho, en el presente estudio dicho anuncio es comparado con un álbum de Mati McDonough que adapta el mismo poema. Teniendo esto en cuenta, este anuncio podría provocar respuestas literarias en los receptores, aunque no estén inmersos en un contexto convencional de lectura, como la escuela o los libros. Así, para confirmar esta hipótesis, se analizan los comentarios acerca del anuncio por parte de usuarios de YouTube. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los comentarios es de tipo estético, aunque no específicamente literario. Sin embargo, todo ello lleva a la conclusión de que, debido a su potencial estético y a sus similitudes con el álbum poético, el anuncio puede ser un adecuado instrumento para la educación literaria, especialmente con la mediación adecuada.

Researchers have agreed upon the importance of social media in regard to establishing athlete brands. In this sense, Twitter is a very important example of social media which represents fans’ perspectives about their favorite (or least favorite) athletes and provides solid fan feedback, which can be helpful in the context of image branding for an athlete. The current study has employed a qualitative content analysis of Twitter users during Pakistan Super League (PSL). The tweets were collected during the 2017 edition of PSL. Data containing #HBLPSL and #PSL was collected and tweets with names of foreign athletes were selected from more than 38,000 tweets. Findings from this study suggested that fans’ tweets about athletes could be separated into two major categories: 1) fan related motives and 2) athlete’ related motives. Fan related motives included sharing: information, visuals, predictions and feedback regarding certain athletes. Athlete’ related motives included: athlete performance, style of celebration and athlete comments. Results of the current study have highlighted the motives that persuaded fans to tweet about a certain athlete during the PSL. Resumen: Los investigadores han estado de acuerdo en la importancia de las redes sociales en la búsqueda de establecer marcas de atletas. En este sentido, Twitter es un tipo muy importante de medios de comunicación social que representa las perspectivas de los aficionados sobre sus atletas favoritos (o no) y proporciona información sólida de los aficionados, que puede ser útil en el contexto de la imagen de marca para un atleta. El presente estudio utiliza un análisis cualitativo del contenido de los usuarios de Twitter durante el PSL. Las colecciones de tweets comenzaron el primer día del PSL 2017 (9 de febrero de 2017) y concluyeron el último día del estudio (5 de marzo de 2017). Se recopilaron datos que contenían #HBLPSL y #PSL y se seleccionaron tweets con nombres de atletas extranjeros de entre más de 38. 000 tweets. Los resultados de este estudio sugirieron que los tweets de los aficionados sobre los atletas, podrían separarse en dos categorías principales: 1) motivos relacionados con los aficionados, y 2) motivos relacionados con los atletas. Los motivos relacionados con los aficionados eran compartir información, imágenes, predicciones y comentarios sobre ciertos atletas. Los motivos relacionados con los atletas fueron el rendimiento de los atletas, el estilo de celebración de los atletas y los comentarios de los atletas. Los resultados del estudio actual han resaltado los motivos que persuadieron a los aficionados a utilizer twittear sobre un determinado atleta durante la PSL.

The use of social media in education has been broadly discussed in the literature and different educational experiences have been proposed in higher education to get students to value them as a powerful aids for self-regulated learning, going beyond being tools for informal communication. A specific field where these experiences have been numerous is initial teacher training, due to the value of social media for professional development, and for their future pedagogical use. In this work the lights and shadows of the use of Twitter for learning in higher education are analysed through a literature review and the exploration of diverse learning designs implemented in consecutive academic years with student teachers. The variations in those designs were planned according the model of design-based research. The objectives of the study that have guided the successive implementations and evaluations of the learning design have enable the data collection to be conducted in a multidimensional perspective, by observing the learners’ activity for information management, and concretely, for the selection and sharing of resources, as well as to identify certain difficulties for the real metacognitive activity on learning. The conclusions provide elements of discussion on the implications of the use of social media for learning and offer recommendations for initiatives in institutional contexts and for the design of proposals based on the model of self-regulated learning, whose aim may be the real individual and collective transformation.

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el estado del arte en el país sobre el conocimiento de los peligros de las redes sociales en línea y cómo protegerse por medio de buenas prácticas de ciberseguridad para las personas menores de edad. Por medio de una revisión bibliográfica se exponen diferentes temáticas relacionadas con manejo de las redes sociales y el peligro al que se exponen niños, niñas y adolescentes en Costa Rica; se evalúan términos de seguridad y privacidad, el rol de los padres y las madres de familia y algunos de los elementos en ciberseguridad de las redes sociales más populares en estas generaciones. Entre los principales hallazgos, se determinó que los mayores peligros de las redes sociales para las personas menores de edad son el ciberbulling, grooming, sexting y adicción, los cuales, sin una adecuada educación en seguridad cibernética, les hace más vulnerables. Las redes sociales más populares entre la niñez y la juventud son Facebook, Instragram, Whatsapp y SnapChat, y cada una se rige por una serie de condiciones de uso; además cada red social ofrece herramientas para asegurar la privacidad y la seguridad de los datos, pero deben ser configurados, y esto es básicamente lo que conocemos como ciberseguridad. Educar en ciberseguridad a las personas menores de edad es un nuevo reto para los padres y las madres de familia, que deben prepararse y conocer para enseñarles a protegerse de estos nuevos peligros.

La presencia del terrorismo islamista en internet ha cambiado cuantitativa y cualitativamente en los últimos años. Nunca, hasta ahora, había resultado tan fácil acceder a toda clase de propaganda extremista a través de la red, en general, y las redes sociales, en particular, gracias a la web 2.0. El objetivo declarado por parte de organizaciones como Estado Islámico es difundir una ideología y una subcultura de naturaleza extremista que justifica la violencia. Este grupo dirige su atención, sobre todo, a jóvenes musulmanes que habitan en la diáspora occidental. En tal contexto, este trabajo analiza la evolución de la presencia del terrorismo islamista en internet, para lo cual se enfoca en las medidas recientemente aprobadas en Europa para enfrentar esta amenaza de carácter ubicuo, difuso y, a la vez, tremendamente peligroso.

Las calles del Centro Histórico de la ciudad de Puebla [CHP] son angostas y muchas tienen baches y alcantarillas en mal estado. A esto se suma la miríada de agentes que ocupan las aceras. Esta situación complica la movilidad por esta zona. Consideramos necesario favorecer el uso común y sostenible del espacio público urbano. Por ello, nos planteamos la meta de conocer cómo algunos agentes gradúan y dosifican el uso de algunas vías públicas del CHP de modo tal que dificultan la movilidad urbana. Así, adoptamos como perspectiva teórica la Teoría del Actor-Red y realizamos una aproximación cuasi-etnográfica, durante la cual observamos e interactuamos con agentes que se apropian del espacio público y dificultan la movilidad en el CHP. Presentamos las acciones-red que despliegan estos agentes y ofrecemos algunos elementos conceptuales que deben tomarse en cuenta para re-ensamblar las redes con miras a la construcción de un mundo común.

El presente trabajo examina los aspectos a considerar para alcanzar estrategias de marketing en redes sociales más eficientes. Los autores revelan las variables que llevan al usuario a reconocer, empleando retuits y favoritos, las publicaciones realizadas por las cuentas corporativas de instituciones universitarias. La investigación explora una muestra de diez universidades españolas y un total de 18.092 publicaciones, en la red social Twitter. El estudio adopta una metodología cuantitativa en la que se examinan treinta variables. Los investigadores llevan a cabo un análisis descriptivo y dos regresiones lineales; revelando: (a) las tendencias de uso habituales, y (b) las variables que inciden en el reconocimiento del contenido publicado a través de retuits, por un lado, y de favoritos, por otro. Los resultados corroboran la existencia de dos modelos de regresión robustos. El primero (p-valor < ,0001 y R2= ,792) muestra cómo el reconocimiento de las publicaciones mediante retuits viene determinado por el uso de enlaces y hashtags. El segundo (p-valor < ,0001 y R2= ,886), por su parte, revela que el reconocimiento del contenido en forma de favoritos está condicionado por el volumen de publicaciones diarias y las publicaciones realizadas de 8:00 a 10:00 am. Los hallazgos de la presente investigación proporcionan, a académicos y profesionales, una visión actualizada de cuáles son las variables que inciden en estos indicadores de reconocimiento y que, por consiguiente, conducen a estrategias de marketing en redes sociales más eficientes.

Los medios sociales sirven hoy en día a distintos propósitos de la comunicación corporativa. Dentro de ellos, los wikis públicos, como Wikipedia, son considerados un recurso al que se debe prestar atención. En este artículo se estudian tres variables —visibilidad, calidad y pertinencia—, para caracterizar el espacio que ocupan en Wikipedia las empresas colombianas. Para ello se tomó una muestra de artículos de compañías que cotizan en la Bolsa de Valores Colombia, y se le realizó un análisis de datos estadísticos por agrupamiento y un análisis de contenido asociado a las subcategorías del estudio de reputación RepTrak. La investigación concluye que a pesar de la disponibilidad y aportaciones potenciales del contenido que reposa en la enciclopedia, en Colombia no existe suficiente apropiación social en favor del proceso comunicativo con los públicos de interés.

El concepto de periodismo ciudadano surge con fuerza y lleno de expectativas a principios del siglo XXI no exento de polémica. Cuestionado por algunos sectores, se consideró como una refundación del periodismo arcaico y obsoleto para el nuevo milenio de la mano de las tecnologías digitales. Nuestro objetivo es conocer por qué el término cada vez se utiliza menos, resituándose en el espacio que le corresponde aun cuando las acciones informativas de la ciudadanía se han diversificado y multiplicado exponencialmente. Nuestra hipótesis es que dos factores, uno tecnológico y otro periodístico, cercaron la posibilidad de que el término se consolide con todas sus pretensiones y competencias iniciales: los medios sociales y las Fake News. El análisis crítico nos permite concluir que el efecto de las noticias falsas en la ciudadanía, y por extensión de la desinformación, socaban la confianza y la credibilidad del periodismo ciudadano produciendo un nuevo acercamiento a los medios periodísticos.

En los últimos años, el periodismo ha experimentado una profunda transformación debido a la emergencia y consolidación de las tecnologías digitales. Las redes sociales han posibilitado la reinvención y adaptación del periodismo a nuevos formatos narrativos, como el storytelling, que responden a los intereses y a las actuales fórmulas de consumo de la información por parte de la ciudadanía. El objetivo de esta investigación es ofrecer una clasificación de nuevos formatos basados en las técnicas narrativas propias del storytelling y vinculados a las redes sociales, y que los medios de comunicación están usando para producir y difundir sus contenidos informativos. Para ello, se plantea una metodología basada en un enfoque exploratorio y en la técnica del análisis de contenido. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que los formatos identificados están estrechamente ligados a la actualidad e inmediatez informativa, y permiten a los usuarios participar activamente en la construcción de la realidad.

In our increasingly digitalized civilization where sharing information and interacting about it is ever more made available to the general public, research into corporate communication practices of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) content on social media is desperately needed. This study makes a contribution to fill this research gap by performing a corpus-based content and multimodal linguistic analysis of the way in which an IBEX 35 energy company, Iberdrola, communicates about its CSR policy on social media. The corpus consists of 438 posts on Twitter and 126 posts on Facebook. The results allow to draw the following conclusions: 1) Iberdrola's information strategy varies from social media channel, where on Twitter the focus is through the environment, sustainability, social investment, stakeholders and arts, and on Facebook the focus is directed at stakeholders, thus motivating them to engage with CSR-related information; 2) there is certainly an interactive strategy, with many elements that characterize digital discourse, such as structures that elicit (positive) emotions, informal language use (like emojis and use of 1st and 2nd person) and other multimodal elements like hashtags and tags, which are all efforts at increasing brand trust, engagement, and admiration; 3) there are some underlying patterns within the informative and the interactive strategy, being that the overall way in which Iberdrola wants to communicate its CSR information is through informal and (positive) emotional language, with an exception of negative emotional language when discussing environmental themes, most probably to avoid accusations of greenwashing.

The objective of this research is to analyze what the scientific production gathered in the Scopus database tells us about the influence of the "indigenous" in and through social media. For this purpose, the bibliometric analysis of 70 documents and 52 articles was carried out. The results show that the interest of researchers in topics that relate the "indigenous" to the new media ecology has grown from 2013 to date progressively, that Australia has the largest scientific production in this regard, and that the implications of the participation of the "indigenous" people in social media reach the social, health, psychology, technology and engineering, environmental sciences, and so on. In conclusion, the scientific evidence in Scopus tells us that there is a positive evolution of the indigenous issue that lies in more than its visibility; it is also evolving with respect to its ubiquity and its glocality, a manifestation that in this convergent era the indigenous issue is advancing from paternalism towards the empowerment of the "indigenous".

El concepto de lectura social responde a las posibilidades que ofrece en la actualidad Internet para hablar de libros y literatura a través de diversos medios y aplicaciones digitales creando comunidades lectoras. Las redes sociales lectoras son espacios específicos para esta práctica digital ya que recogen en una única aplicación distintas maneras de interacción relacionadas con la literatura. Entre todas, Goodreads, adquirida por Amazon en 2013, es el principal espacio por usuarios y número de libros reseñados. Esta investigación analiza la presencia de la literatura infantil y juvenil española a través de un corpus de 19 libros entre 2016 y 2019, 353 usuarios y 558 reseñas. Se define el proceso de análisis de la red a través de distintos apartados y se recogen resultados de la presencia de las citadas obras para demostrar el interés de esta plataforma como espacio de investigación sobre la lectura social.

Esta investigación examina la relación entre medios convencionales y Twitter durante la campaña electoral de 2016 en España. La metodología combina el análisis de contenido cuantitativo y el análisis métrico sobre una muestra de 8.199 mensajes publicados por los cuatro partidos más votados: PP, PSOE, Podemos y Ciudadanos. Los resultados confirman que los partidos aprovechan Twitter para amplificar el impacto de sus intervenciones en medios convencionales, siendo especialmente significativo el debate a cuatro emitido por diferentes cadenas televisiva. Este dato refuerza la idea de que viejos y nuevos medios conviven y se complementan en un entorno comunicativo híbrido.

El presente artículo realiza una revisión bibliométrica de los estudios sobre medios sociales, y hace parte de la fase inicial de una investigación que busca caracterizar el consumo de medios sociales por parte de estudiantes de entre 14 y 17 años, de colegios privados de Bogotá. El proyecto es financiado por la Institución Universitaria Politécnico Grancolombiano-Colombia. El lector encontrará caracterizaciones que involucran la revolución digital, los estilos de vida y los medios y redes sociales (Wolfe, 2011). Nuestro propósito es orientarlo tanto frente a los conceptos hito que emergen tras la revisión bibliométrica (Sitios de Redes Social -SRS-, “Influencers”) como frente a la ruta metodológica y la discusión de resultados. El artículo ofrece gráficos y dendogramas para tener una perspectiva sobre la tendencia que, en los últimos diez años, prevalece en la investigación sobre los medios sociales y su impacto en adolescentes, vistos desde lo pedagógico y comunicativo.

El presente trabajo analiza la influencia que los patrones de uso en las redes sociales de referencia (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) tienen a la hora de predecir la utilidad percibida por el universitario en un listado de recursos educativos digitales (vídeo tutoriales, foros, podcasts, test auto evaluables, blogs o eBooks entre otros). Los autores abordan además esta tarea adoptando un enfoque comparativo examinando el fenómeno objeto de estudio en dos muestras de estudiantes en España y Colombia. El estudio, desarrollado mediante encuesta sobre una muestra de 549 participantes, emplea técnicas de análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE), análisis univariado y regresión logística ordinal. Los resultados revelan que, si bien existen asociaciones entre los patrones de uso de redes sociales y la utilidad percibida en ciertos recursos educativos digitales, e incluso, se pueden detectar modelos de estimación óptimos en algunos casos; el uso de estas plataformas tiene escasa capacidad predictiva a la hora de determinar la importancia que el universitario otorga a los recursos educativos digitales de interés en ambos países.
