Political communication on gender and sexuality on Twitter/X in Spain (2015–2023): An AI-assisted analysis of sentiment, toxicity and hate speech as drivers of engagement
Recent surges in anti-feminist and anti-LGBTIQ+ narratives in Spain, especially amplified on social media such as Twitter (now X), raise substantive questions about how political parties communicate about gender and sexuality and how platform dynamics reward such messaging about parties’ online communication strategies. This article presents a longitudinal, comparative analysis of 4,504 tweets posted by the official accounts of Spain’s main parti…
Deals, domestication, and disasters: Results of a comparative content analysis of migration coverage in 15 African and European countries
Migration has re-emerged as a central political issue across Africa and Europe, yet comparative research continues to privilege European perspectives and rarely incorporates the heterogeneity of African media systems. This study addresses this gap through a systematic content analysis of 1871 online news articles from 30 outlets in 15 African and European countries (2023-2024). We examine form, content, and evaluative dimensions of migration repo…
Toxicity levels in Spanish political communication on Twitter/X: A comparative analysis of major political parties, 2015–2023
Introduction Social media, especially Twitter (now X), have long since become integral to the communication strategies of political parties, providing a direct and agile medium for interaction with the public and dissemination of messages. But this digital omnipresence also poses worrying challenges, such as the polarisation of political discourse. Several studies have explored the communication strategies of political parties on social media, as…
What is the nature of the racist and xenophobic hate speech disseminated on social media in Southern Europe? Topic modelling of anti-immigration messages posted on X and YouTube in Spain, Italy and Gr…
One of the greatest challenges facing democratic societies today is hate speech, that spreads massively and uncontrollably through social media. particularly racist and xenophobic speech, the category of discrimination in which most hate crimes are recorded annually in Southern Europe.

The Conversation around Islam on Twitter: Topic Modeling and Sentiment Analysis of Tweets about the Muslim Community in Spain since 2015
Social media, especially Twitter, has become a platform where hate, toxic, intolerant, and discriminatory speech is increasingly spread. These messages are aimed at different vulnerable social groups, due to some of their differentiating characteristics with respect to the dominant one, whether they are phenotypic, religious, cultural, gender, sexual, etc. Of all these minorities, one of the most affected is the Muslim community, especially since…
Hate speech and social acceptance of migrants in Europe: Analysis of tweets with geolocation
Hate speech against vulnerable groups is acknowledged as a serious problem for integration and respect for the social diversity existing within the territory of the European Union. The growth of this type of discourse has been supported by the expansion of social media, which have been proven to act as a mechanism for the propagation of crimes against targets such as migrants and refugees, one of the main affected groups. That is why we have cond…
Online Hate Speech and Immigration Acceptance: A Study of Spanish Provinces
Online hate speech against migrants and refugees poses a grave challenge for coexistence and democracy. However, it also offers an opportunity to measure social acceptance towards this group. Using the Intergroup Contact and the Mediated Intergroup Contact Theory, and an already validated methodology, this article seeks to validate whether the use of hate speech as a predictor of social acceptance is valid at a provincial level in Spain. Contrast…
Evolution of negative visual frames of immigrants and refugees in the main media of Southern Europe
The Mediterranean migration crisis especially affects three Southern European countries that represent the main gateways into the continent for immigrants and asylum seekers: Spain, Italy, and Greece. In recent years, feelings of rejection towards migration have been increasing in all of them, accompanied by a simultaneous increase in the number of hate crimes. Similarly, the representation of these groups in European news media seems to have wor…
The Gendered Representation of Refugees Using Visual Frames in the Main Western European Media

This work analyses the denotative and connotative visual framing of migrants and refugees in European media during the migration crisis in Europe in general and in the Mediterranean in particular. The main objective is to identify the differences between Germany, the country that receives the most asylum requests, and other Western Europe countries (Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom). The second goal is to detect temporal differences be…
