As the founding editor of Communication Research and Practice, I look back on some of the key drivers of the journal's development and issues faced for the future. It is noted that the journal has successfully navigated the challenge of becoming a highly regarded outlet for scholarship that has global reach while being predominantly authored from Australia and New Zealand. Challenges faced relate to how broadly to understand communication as a field, engagement with the Asia-Pacific region, and the relationship between theory and practice in the communication professions.

Introduction: This research addresses the informative use of TikTok, one of the social networks that has grown the most in number of users in 2023. Its display formula causes rapid and direct consumption, which means the viralization of its contents. This has caused the media to start working on the possibilities it has as an informative support. Methodology: In the first place, a descriptive study has been chosen through a survey with a non-probabilistic sample to find out the consumption habits of young people. And, secondly, we have carried out a content analysis of four TikTok profiles directly related to the dissemination of news: El Mundo, El País, ac2alityespanol and La Wikly. Results: 36% use this network for information and the majority of those surveyed appreciate that the profile belongs to a young person. We also highlight that 89% affirm that TikTok is an adequate medium for transmitting information with medium credibility, with the brevity and immediacy of the message being the characteristic that they consider best defines this platform. It should be noted that most view TikTok as a network for entertainment. Discussion and conclusions: A large percentage of young people use TikTok for information and they do so both through native media profiles and traditional media. Regarding the content, it is observed that the specific production is much higher in the traditional media and, in both types of profiles, the main content that is addressed is information of an international nature.

The controversy over gacha games has been sparked by their explosive growth and their way of monetising revenues for the companies that create them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The media are a powerful tool for transmitting information. They have the ability to influence, re-educate, sensitize or desensitize a population depending on the treatment they give to their publications. However, the frequent use of shocking phrases, discriminatory titles present women as the person who provokes the aggression, reinforcing the violence against them. In this sense, this article analyzes the headlines presented in the Extra newspaper publications during the year 2021, about five cases of femicide, with the intention of determining to what extent there is social responsibility on the part of the media.

The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic changed, very quickly, various forms of life in contemporary society, among them, the teaching and learning processes in schools had to be reconsidered in an emergency way. This work had as main objective to analyze the organization and systematization of the activities of the remote studies presented on the website of the Colégio de Aplicação of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, as a way to understand how students-school communication took place in the midst of the COVID pandemic -19. To this end, a case study was conducted based on public information posted weekly on the institution's website, in order to find examples and models of how the school institution's communication process with its student interlocutors occurred, in the midst of the planned. It was possible to verify that the layout used for the presentation of weekly remote activities by series and discipline favored the understanding of what should be done and forwarded by the students.

Though studies have shown that the sexual orientation of parents does not influence their parenting skills or the well-being of their children, prejudice against same-sex families is still very widespread. Research has not sufficiently explored the ways in which parents tackle this prejudice. Using qualitative methodologies, in particular textual analyses, this study has analysed the discourse used by same-sex families to handle the prejudices that they face. The results highlighted that conflicts, which may even be ideological in nature, are sometimes created between traditional families and "atypical" families. These often result in estrangement and isolation from their own family and the communities to which they belong, in turn damaging the growth of the children involved. Furthermore, means for moving beyond conflict, sharing experiences and effectively tackling prejudices are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study sought to verify the institutional communication practices adopted by Samarco (mining company, subsidiary of Vale), inthe episode of the tailings dam rupture, in Mariana, MG. Therefore, we sought to observe, first, the relationship of the company with its stakeholders, including authorities, community, suppliers, customers, the press and society in general. The designation of the organization as mission, vision and values was also observed and compared with the day-to-day communication practices of Samarco. The material used in the survey included the company's website, news published in the press and data made available in official documents. The conclusions indicate that in the course of the management of crisis and post-crisis communication, the material published by the mining company Samarco sought and sought to filter information in order to release the company from its responsibilities with the event, neglecting the commitments described in its mission, thus blunting its transparency.

[es] El objetivo general de este trabajo consiste en analizar el tratamiento mediático de los diarios nacionales, Clarín y La Nación, y los de la Provincia de Mendoza, Los Andes y UNO, sobre las elecciones presidenciales de 2015 en la Argentina. Para ello, se sometieron a análisis de contenido las piezas periodísticas referidas al caso publicadas por los cuatro diarios entre el 27 de septiembre y el 22 de noviembre de 2015. Es decir, desde un mes antes de la primera vuelta y hasta el mismo día de la segunda. En términos específicos se pretende establecer: 1) cuál fue la relevancia del asunto en las coberturas; y 2) cuál fue el tono valorativo del tratamiento mediático. En este trabajo, que se sustenta conceptualmente en la Teoría de la Agenda Setting y en la Teoría de la Valoración, se utilizó un índice de importancia, para medir la relevancia de las piezas informativas, y un índice de valoración, para estimar la valencia de las notas.

[es] La comunicación hace posible la semiosis, y los procesos de semiosis permiten la memoria, y desde esta óptica, el sentido es inagotable e infinitamente renovable. Las contribuciones de la semiótica al campo de la comunicación son de larga data y nos permite un diálogo enriquecedor con otros espacios de estudio. Nuestro estudio en comunicación posee una mirada desde la semiótica por las posibilidades y herramientas que este espacio disciplinar nos ofrece a los investigadores en comunicación. En el presente artículo pretendemos describir y analizar la composición arquitectónica de los actos escolares como formato semiótico-comunicativo. Para ello hemos trazado un mapa que consta de cuatro momentos, que se presentan como parte de un proceso siempre en movimiento, que vuelve a iniciar, a reactualizarse: organizativo, ceremonial, de ofrenda institucional y de archivo. [en] Communication makes semiosis possible, and semiosis processes allow memory, and from this point of view, the meaning is inexhaustible and infinitely renewable. The contributions of semiotics to the field of communication are longstanding and allow us an enriching dialogue with other spaces of study. We work from a semiotic approach for the possibilities and tools that this disciplinary space offers us to researchers in communication. In this article we intend to describe and analyze the architectural composition that the school act takes as a semiotic-communicative format. For this we have drawn a map that consists of four moments, which are presented as part of a process always in motion, which starts again, to be reactualized: organizational, ceremonial, institutional offering and archiving.

After ten years, drawing indiscriminately the neighborhoods of Valencia, for no other reason than to observe and represent every corner of the city, we finally decided to use the communicative capacity of drawing as a tool to reclaim El Cabanyal’s negletic state of abandonment, that has been going through for many years, regardless its political burden. After setting this goal and analysing the morphological and social history of this neighborhood, we decided to travel the streets and rooftops of El Cabanyal, talk to its people, and draw, in situ, those different spaces, shapes, colors, atmospheres ... giving rise to dozens of drawings that immortalize the (still alive) remains of this urban ecosystem. Paper-shaped witnesses sketched with latent architectures, persecuted and threatened by oblivion that will accompany us during the course of this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The perception of acceleration of everyday life, as well as the related time's understanding change are facts of contemporaneity. This paper points out the need to look for potential previous references for the investigated phenomena on communicational researches, defending the application of a historiographical approach in the Communication' researches due to the premise that the theoretical notion of "long duration" (Fernand Braudel) is impacted in accelerated times. To articulate such a demand, it is presented the metaphor of the temporal anchor that seems to be particularly relevant approach in the "media life" (Mark Deuze) context. The "cultural forms" (Raymond Williams) are suggested as an alternative to define what would constitute an appropriate duration to be considered in the researches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The new coronavirus that had already been plaguing several regions of Brazil reached the Vale do Javari Indigenous Territory, State of Amazonas, in June 2020, a region with indigenous peoples of recent contact and a high concentration of indigenous peoples in isolation. The COVID-19 pandemic leads us to rethink old ways of relating and communicating, requiring isolation practices and, at the same time, the circulation of information at a never-before seen speed. In the absence of drugs and immunizations, health recommendations gain centrality as a contingency measure for the new coronavirus. However, the effectiveness of communication can face some obstacles and misunderstandings that permeate the relationship between patients and health teams. Based on field research carried out among the Korubo, indigenous people of recent contact from the Vale do Javari Indigenous Territory, this article intends to reflect on informative communication within context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Chilean Social Uprising of October 2019, through its multiple manifestations, has led to transformations in the city, as its architecture has been used as communicational canvases where both the spontaneous temporary facilities, as well as those designed, have allowed having new urban readings. This communication modality shows a porous, active, dynamic society, where longings and hopes need to be addressed and heard. Thus, the urban body is tattooed, expressing the needs of an invisible and unheeded society: architecture, is dressed for the occasion, losing its initial meaning and becoming a means of uncensored citizen communication. From the communicational side of the facilities, we will review three temporary modalities that intervene in the city, redefining it: The urban tattoo as a typology inherent to the Social Uprising coming from street art; the Performances and the human body as a communication tool symbolically arranged in the public space and, finally, the Urban Facilities as the redefinition of a building or public space in the light of an intervention that breaks its original mold. The spirit of change, of renewal, has taken over the city: the urban body enters the maelstrom of permanent transformation, following the dynamic and spontaneous rhythm printed by the citizen's will.

The growing importance and relevance of ICT in business increases the dependence of business entities on ICTs, to which the managers of agricultural enterprises need to pay the necessary attention. The penetration of ICTs also affects the companies that do business in the area of agriculture. High quality and accessible information today has a strategic economic and social importance for the management of this sector; therefore, the use of ICTs by the company managers is becoming an essential part of their daily lives. In their work, the managers of agricultural enterprises most often use a personal computer. The intensity of the laptop use is increasing and thanks to the mobility and connectivity, smartphones are also getting ahead. The use of these devices closely involves operating and application software. The most popular operating system is Windows. In terms of applications, the managers most often use the most popular package MS Office. The research involves an analysis of the intensity of the ICT use by managers with emphasis on agricultural enterprises in the Slovak Republic. The scientific article presents the results of an implemented survey focusing on the intensity of the ICT use by managers and the verification of the hypothesis of a significant influence of a manager's job position on the intensity of the ICT use in the company.

[Por] Ter a linguagem como matéria prima aproxima a Comunicação da Literatura. O texto se propõe a refletir sobre os pontos de encontro e de distanciamento entre a narrativa jornalística e a narrativa literária, especificamente tratando da reportagem, sendo a narrativa um dos gêneros discursivos mais perenes e flexíveis na história da humanidade. A linguagem é tratada neste estudo como forma de interação humana, e a reportagem, ainda que se considere a existência de diversas classificações, interessa, neste estudo, aquela cujas características a aproximam do gênero diversional, mais próximo da literatura. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica verifica-se que os limites entre as duas áreas se estabelecem pelos contratos existentes entre os interlocutores e que a reportagem enquanto narrativa se apropria da literatura para agregar estética ao saber fazer jornalístico. [en] Having language as raw material approaches the Communication from the literature, the text proposes to reflect on the meeting points and distancing between journalistic narrative and literary narrative, specifically dealing with the story, and the narrative one of the most perennial genres and flexible in human history. The language is treated in this study as a form of human interaction, and the report, although it considers the existence of different classifications, interests in this study that the characteristics of the approach the diversional genre, closer to literature. Through a literature review it is apparent that the boundaries between the two areas are established by existing agreements between the parties and that the story as narrative appropriates the literature to add esthetic to learn to journalism.

Mediatization has become increasingly a key concept, fundamental, essential to describe the present and the history of media and communicative change taking place. Thus, it became part of a whole, one can not see them as a separate sphere. In this perspective, the media coverage is used as a concept to describe the process of expansion of the different technical means and consider the interrelationships between the communicative change, means and sociocultural change. However, although many researchers use the concept of mediatization, each gives you the meaning that best suits your needs. Thus, the concept of media coverage is treated with multiple voices. This paper discusses this problem and present a preliminary pre-position on the matter.

This article makes a review of the concept of luxury from the perspective of its social value to analyze the concept of luxury that the companies in its sector communicate on their Corporate Social Networks. It is a case study of Abadía Retuerta Le Domaine, considered the best luxury hotel in Spain and one of the 50 best around the world. It will delve into how luxury conveys and its good corporate practices reflected in its Corporate Social Responsibility through Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin.

The results reveal how the combination of a business model inspired by a vision of luxury as an agent of social improvement with a communication in Social Networks of a concept of capitalist luxury gives rise to a luxury that generates, through its activity, economic incomes, social impact and preserves a heritage through the regeneration of inbred fauna and flora. In short, it is a combination of online "capitalist luxury" born of a humanistic vision of luxury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of this article is to start a problematization about possible interrelationships between Semiotic of Culture (Russian) and Amerindian Perspectivism focused to compose reading keys about intercultural dynamics in societies outside on Western hegemonic cultures. We seek to challenge the understanding of communication processes with a view to semiosis from reflections about anthropophagy/ cannibalism in the culture of forest peoples. We are understanding that we must have a considerable displacement to semiosis comprehension, significance process, language understanding, the organization of codes and thought about Amerindian culture, considering the reflection on beyond cultural environment concerning the culture in which the researchers are inserted. The argument of this text goes to defend the fact that there is a coherent and differentiated semiotic construction that can be studied in the construction of semiosis of the bodies in Brazilian indigenous cultures and which we call here semiophagy - a mix of semiotics and anthropophagy that is strengthened by Amerindian perspectivism.
