The research was organised in two phases. In the first phase, quantitative analysis was applied to a sample of 1,2…

Peer governance practices: An Alternative Approach to the Education of Young People in Vulnerable Contexts
Journalistic Self-Regulation for Equality: The Role of Gender Editing in Spain
Despite journalism's commitment to ethical principles such as accuracy, humanity and diversity, compliance with the gender perspective in content is still minimal in approximately one hundred countries. This inequality reinforces misperceptions, imbalances, and perceived differences between men and women. To address this situation, from 2010 to 2021, eight Spanish media companies appointed a new editorial position responsible for self-regulating …
The fall after the hatching: Evolution and engagement of Greta Thunberg’s frame on Twitter
Greta Thunberg pushed forward a new collective action frame for the climate movement with the necessary resonance to mobilize millions of people. However, the coronavirus outbreak forced Thunberg to adjust her strategy in an abrupt way, and the resonance of the activist’s frame decreased after achieving its peak in 2019. How has Thunberg’s frame evolved before, during and after the pandemic? Can we attribute the loss of resonance to a failed fram…

Students’ perceptions on social media teaching tools in higher education settings
Young people use social networks extensively in their daily lives, and using social media is, without doubt, the media practice they do the most. Therefore, there are increasing efforts to include students’ use of social media outside the classroom into university learning practices. However, there is still very little innovative application of mobile technology and its social networks in Spanish universities. In this article we explore Spanish u…

In so doing, qualitative and quantitative content analyses of 50 video clips of the most listened-to songs in two periods (2009 and 2019) are carried out. From a post-feminist critical perspective (Gill, 2…
Las mujeres como outsiders en el periodismo deportivo: Percepción de las estudiantes y personas expertas

Mediante la realización de 20 entrevistas semiestructuradas, se examina cómo las estudiantes universitarias en Cataluña perciben estas desigualdades y cómo manifiestan sus expectativas de futuro en este campo. Tambié…

Feminist Reggaeton in Spain: Young Women Subverting Machismo Through ‘Perreo’

Mobile devices in higher education: A pending issue in multidimensional media literacy
Prensky’s concept of the ‘digital native’ received many criticisms, fundamentally as it was considered too optimistic, but also determinist and reductionist: knowing the age of a person does not determine the digital practices they may perform, nor their behaviour. In our previous research young people obtained very low scores in all media literacy dimensions except technology, demonstrating the need for comprehensive media literacy and contradic…
