Patterns of media and social media consumption associated with suicidal ideation in Spanish children
Child suicide is a critical public health issue in Spain. From 2020 to 2021, the child suicide rate rose by approximately 57%, with 22 children aged 15 or younger taking their own lives in 2021 compared to 14 in 2020. This phenomenon is complex, with psychological, social, and economic factors potentially influencing a young person’s decision to end their life. Among these, some researchers caution that certain media and social media exposures ma…
Predictive models of suicidal ideation in Spanish children
The growing presence of social media in children's everyday lives has intensified concerns about its relationship with mental health. This study examines how differentiated patterns of online media use are associated with suicidal ideation (SI) among Spanish children aged 10 to 15, incorporating direct cybervictimization (DCV) and age within a moderated mediation model. A nonexperimental, cross-sectional design was implemented using data from a n…
Spurring or Blurring Professional Standards? The Role of Digital Technology in Implementing Journalistic Role Ideals in Contemporary Newsrooms
This study examines the perceived relevance and implementation of competing normative ideals in journalism in times of increasing use of digital technology in newsrooms. Based on survey and content analysis data from 37 countries, we found a small positive relationship between the use of digital research tools and “watchdog” performance. However, a stronger and negative relationship emerged between the use of digital audience analytics and the pe…
Comparing Journalistic Role Performance Across Thematic Beats
Studies suggest that, at the routine level, news beats function as unique “micro-cultures.” Exploring this “particularist” approach in news content, we compare how the interventionist, watchdog, loyal, service, infotainment, and civic roles materialize across 11 thematic news beats and analyze the moderating effect of platforms, ownership, and levels of political freedom on journalistic role performance in hard and soft news. Based on the second …

Esta investigación ofrece una nueva perspectiva acerca del asunto. En ella se ha elaborado un modelo para las variables que inciden en la intención de adherencia al tratamien…
The societal context of professional practice
The impact of socio-political variables on journalism is an ongoing concern of comparative research on media systems and professional cultures. However, they have rarely been studied systematically across diverse cases, particularly outside Western democracies, and existing studies that compare western and non-western contexts have mainly focused on journalistic role conceptions rather than actual journalistic practice. Using journalistic role pe…
Suicide risk and media consumption in the Covid-19 pandemic in Colombia
The media can play an important role in suicide prevention and mental health care, especially in a country like Colombia, affected by an internal armed conflict, and with worrying cases of suicide that increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is known that mental health conditions were accentuated during the first year of this pandemic, with the deaths of family and friends, mandatory isolation, and the economic crisis, among others. This study…
Journalistic Role Performance in Times of Covid
This paper examines journalistic role performance in coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, based on a content analysis of newspaper, television, radio and online news in 37 countries. We test a set of hypotheses derived from two perspectives on the role of journalism in health crises. Mediatization theories assume that news media tend to sensationalize or to politicize health crises. A contrasting perspective holds that journalists shift toward more…
Does News Platform Matter? Comparing Online Journalistic Role Performance to Newspaper, Radio, and Television
The shifting role of journalism in a digital age has affected long-standing journalistic norms across media platforms. This has reinvigorated discussion on how work in online newsrooms compares to other platforms that differ in media affordances and forms. Still, more studies are needed on whether those differences translate into distinct practices, especially when examining cross-national studies. Based on the second wave of the Journalistic Rol…
Evolución conceptual del periodismo de paz
Los medios masivos se han centrado en informar más sobre temas de guerra que de paz. De ahí que, el periodismo de paz surja como una alternativa narrativa que contribuye a la solución pacífica de conflictos, en un contexto donde son esenciales la verdad, la rigurosidad en la reportería y la responsabilidad social de la información. Pese a su importancia, el periodismo de paz es un subcampo escasamente explorado en la literatura de habla hispana. …

Impacto de la comunicación de la responsabilidad social universitaria en la selección de universidad y efecto mediador de la reputación
The emerging concept of university social responsibility (USR) consists in the fulfillment of the mission of the university in terms of ethical standards, community support, respect for human beings, and respect for the environment. Thus, universities must not only provide professional training but also instill ethical principles in students to allow them to behave as good citizens and help solve community problems. On the other hand, competition…

The field of communication has studied school violence by analyzing the influence of media and interpersonal relationships on aggressive behaviors. This article provides a perspective on school violence and concentrates on determining the influence of interpersonal communication with parents and teachers on adolescent aggressors and victims in school contexts. A non-experimental c…

Expanding Influences Research to Insecure Democracies
Democracies with sharp violence and public insecurity have proliferated in recent decades, with many also featuring extreme economic inequality. These conditions have not been explicitly considered in comparative research on journalists’ work environments, an omission that may obscure important realities of contemporary journalism. We address this gap through analysis of journalist surveys in 62 countries. We confirm the existence of insecure dem…

Rethinking professional autonomy
Professional autonomy has usually been defined in terms of journalists’ perceptions of their control over their work vis-à-vis organizational supervisors. Using surveys of journalists in Colombia and Mexico, we identify two dimensions of perceived autonomy: first, control over story development tasks (the traditional understanding of autonomy in empirical studies); second, the ability to actually publish news on a range of subjects associated wit…
