Vulnerable but not victims
Within a platform governance paradigm, the content creator’s role seems to be placed in a position of vulnerability and resignation. This article examines the relationship between content creators and digital platforms, focusing on the views and practices of the former. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with eighteen Spanish content creators active on Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, YouTube and X. The results show that the participants p…
I’m a normal girl with strong values’. Spanish influencers’ documentaries, celebrity status and the centrality of the family
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of docurealities about influencers. They have claimed to be the most important professional project of their careers and promised to show ‘the person behind the influencer’. This study analyses how social media celebrity is portrayed in these docurealities, focusing on four specific cases from the Spanish influencer industry: Dulceida, María Pombo, Marta Díaz and sisters Lola Lolita and Sofía Surfer…
The concept of normalization in the production of LGBTIQ+ media imaginaries
The representation of the LGBTIQ+ community in TV series has received major attention from academia, mostly from textual and reception perspectives. However, the creative and industrial processes behind the production of media content, including the writers’ views and experiences, remain under-explored, especially outside of the United States and Northern Europe. Drawing on Queer Production Studies, this research seeks to fill this gap in Queer M…
Debating Sexual Consent in the Teen Series The Hockey Girls
This article analyses discussion of a narrative concerning sexual consent in a 2019 Spanish television series broadcast on Netflix called Les de l’Hoquei (The Hockey Girls). A thematic analysis was conducted on 105 comments made in response to three posts on the show’s official Instagram account (all dated 27 May 2019), which summarise the series’ storyline about the absence of sexual consent in the relationship between two main characters. The f…
Beyond representation
The growing presence of trans people in popular culture, including television series, is a well-established fact. However, its broader social impact and particularly consideration of what constitutes a positive representation of the trans community has received little attention from academic literature. This research addresses this gap by focusing on the experiences and interpretations of trans individuals regarding the way they are portrayed in …
Scriptwriters’ Conceptions of Audience Attitudes Toward LGBTQ+ Characters
Drawing on media production studies, this research observes the understudied figure of the scriptwriters of fictional series to identify their feelings about different audiences and the way they respond to LGBTQ+ characters and narratives. Specifically, it seeks to understand how they use these mental images of their audiences when they create LGBTQ+ content. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online with twenty scriptwriters of different …
If you don’t “pass” as cis, you don’t exist’. The trans audience's reproofs of ‘Cis Gaze’ and transnormativity in TV series
There are currently more trans characters than ever in television series, while at the same time scrutiny of trans people is intensifying in social and public debate, and the correspondence between this increased presence in the media and improvements in the trans community's rights is in dispute. This research aims to find out how trans audiences relate to their portrayal in TV series, to learn about their perceptions and opinions, and to unders…

Opinion of television managers about their viewers and their interest in science
Science does not occupy a prominent place on Spanish television, possibly due to those in charge of the creation, production, organization, and programming of content. Previous research has shown that television executives have mental images of their audiences that they actively use in their professional practice. This study adopts a mixed, qualitative-quantitative method to determine the beliefs of Spanish television executives regarding the att…

Comparative study of feminist positioning on Twitter by Spanish politicians
This research analyses feminism-related tweets produced over a period of two months by both a male representative and a female representative of each of the four principal political parties in Spain (PP, PSOE, Ciudadanos and Podemos). Although their behaviour on Twitter is similar, the differences found are more marked by ideology than by gender. A content analysis shows that the parties tend to reinforce their ideological programme on Twitter, w…
