La desinformación en torno a la violencia de género
La desinformación en torno al feminismo ha experimentado un notable crecimiento en España durante los últimos años. Una de las claves de este fenómeno ha sido cuestionar la existencia de la violencia de género, un argumento defendido asimismo por organizaciones sociales conservadoras y partidos políticos de ultraderecha, en creciente expansión. Este estudio analiza cómo Mediterráneo Digital, una destacada plataforma digital de desinformación y ex…
Jóvenes LGTBIQ+ ante la información de actualidad
Diversos estudios recientes muestran que las redes sociales han reemplazado a los medios tradicionales como principal fuente de información, especialmente entre los jóvenes, para quienes Instagram y TikTok se han convertido en canales informativos clave. Gran parte del contenido consumido proviene de influencers, quienes captan más atención que los actores periodísticos. Paralelamente, las redes sociales han sido un espacio de desinformación de d…
Bridging the gap in crisis communication
Purpose The aim of this research is to analyse how feminist and LGBTQ+ organisations used social media during the COVID-19 pandemic to determine whether their posts provided resources to help vulnerable groups cope with confinement and whether they acted as filters of quality information. Design/methodology/approach The content of 754 posts shared by 18 Spanish organisations on their Facebook channels during the first month of lockdown (March–Apr…
Capítulo 2. Las amenazas según la ultraderecha y la ultraderecha como amenaza
Las dos elecciones generales de 2019, celebradas en el mes de abril, y de nuevo en noviembre tras no lograrse la investidura de ningún candidato como presidente del Gobierno, pasarán a la historia por dos cuestiones. Por un lado, por terminar facilitando, tras la segunda convocatoria, el primer ejecutivo de coalición en España desde la II República, de claro perfil progresista, conformado por miembros del Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) …
Disinformation and Sexual and Gender Diversity in Spain
Increased disinformation has been able to flourish in the digital environment. Much of the fake news that circulate social networks is directed against vulnerable groups, such as the LGBTQI+ community. These contents often include hate speech, which has recently experienced a notable increase in Spain. Based on a quantitative and qualitative methodology, the purpose of this research study was, first, to explore the social audience’s reaction to f…
En busca de grietas en la estructura mediática de la desinformación
Mientras el combate contra la desinformación resuelva las amenazas y contradicciones que hasta el momento las iniciativas institucionales han evidenciado, solo el papel de una ciudadanía crítica y una profesión periodística que revise sus principios esenciales podrán ensanchar grietas de conocimiento en una estructura mediática propicia para la desinformación, espoleada por lógicas mercantiles e intereses ideológicos que aprovechan un entorno tec…
Vox and journalistic information
The general elections held in 2019 gave Vox enough votes to enter the Spanish Parliament as the third most popular political party. The growing role of this radical right-wing party has revealed a complex relationship with the media. The objective of this study is to characterise the relationship between Vox and the media by analysing the party's electoral discourse using quantitative techniques – posts made on Facebook and Twitter (n = 224) – an…
Communication and dissent
There is a saying that the first victim of any war is the truth. Yet in a disinformation context like that we find nowadays, where there are apparently as many truths as reports defended in the public sphere, it seems hard to reach a consensus about which was the first to be defeated on the battle front. Although lies and fake news have been included in war coverage for some time, as evidenced by the way that William Randolph Hearst treated the S…
Injecting disinformation into public space
This paper analyses the context of disinformation in Spain from the perspective of the pseudo-media (i.e., websites that mimic conventional media to offer partisan content based on alternative facts). Using a quantitative (N = 1,143) and qualitative (n = 396) methodology, this research analyses publications from eight Spanish pseudo-media that reach more than 4 million unique users. Results reveal an interest in three topics: vaccination, restric…
Quality recognition as a prescriber against disinformation
Hybrid media context and the infodemic have increased the threat of disinformation, particularly among young people who mostly consume digital content. This article aims to identify the competencies needed to detect low-quality content linked to disinformation by Journalism and Communications undergraduates from Argentina, Chile, and Spain. Based on a double comparative study by countries and levels of education, it tries to predict the skills of…
Invertir la vulnerabilidad
Las campañas antigénero, comunes en los últimos años en Europa, cuentan con largo recorrido en España de la mano de organizaciones como Foro Español de la Familia y HazteOir.org, con un discurso contra la igualdad LGTBI compartido por el partido ultraderechista Vox. Esta investigación analiza los tuits publicados por estos tres actores en torno a la población LGTBI durante los dos años siguientes a la entrada de Vox en las instituciones. Los resu…

Docuficción y responsabilidad social
El tratamiento de la violencia de género ha experimentado un notable cambio en los medios de comunicación españoles en las últimas dos décadas. Propiciada por la concienciación y la publicación de códigos éticos, esta evolución se caracteriza por abandonar el discurso que enmarcaba la violencia contra las mujeres en la crónica de sucesos para abordarla en su dimensión de problema social con causas estructurales. Sin embargo, los avances en la cob…
Discursos en competència en la dreta política valenciana
Les eleccions autonòmiques de 2019 a la Comunitat Valenciana han plantejat un nou escenari per a l’espectre ideològic conservador, ja que per primera vegada eren tres les formacions que es disputaven aquest vot amb possibilitats d’accedir a les Corts. A més a més, la notorietat aconseguida per l’extrema dreta en el nou panorama polític suposava un desafiament per a la resta de partits. L’objectiu d’aquesta investigació és analitzar com van afront…
Competitive Discourses among the Valencian Right Wing
The 2019 regional government election in The Valencian Country led to a new panorama on the Right. For the first time, there were three political parties competing for votes. In addition, the notoriety gained by the Far Right created a new political scene, posing a challenge to other parties. This paper analyses how the Partido Popular, Ciudadanos and Vox managed a campaign in which they were both electoral opponents but also potentially future p…
Resonancia cultural y consonancia informativa como elementos favorecedores de la simbiosis discursiva entre activismo y periodismo en protestas educativas
El movimiento neocon que impulsó la protesta contra Educación para la Ciudadanía se reactivó con el anuncio del Ejecutivo de Pedro Sánchez de introducir una nueva asignatura de valores cívicos y éticos en el currículo escolar. Esta investigación analiza los mensajes difundidos por las principales organizaciones conservadoras para determinar el protagonismo que este tema tuvo en su producción comunicativa y si responden a un marco de acción colect…
El pluralismo polarizado ante la nueva política y el columnismo digital
El modelo de pluralismo polarizado del sistema mediático español se caracteriza por un periodismo ideológicamente alineado con los principales partidos políticos. Ello se ha traducido en que, en los géneros de opinión, la interpretación sosegada haya sido sacrificada en favor de un discurso dirigido a enjuiciar la realidad y movilizar ideológicamente a las audiencias. Este trabajo aborda las posibles transformaciones en el sistema mediático españ…
Entre el activismo y la mediatización
Research on media coverage of electoral campaigns point to an increasing mediatization. This paper seeks to corroborate whether the trend also takes place in exceptional circumstances, such as those surrounding the regional elections in Catalonia in 2017. The analysis compares the frames observed in six newspapers (El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia, El Periódico de Catalunya, Punt Avui and Ara) with those adopted by the seven political parties rep…
The voices of journalism and the LGBTQI movement in response to violence in same-sex couples
In recent years the Spanish media have highlighted numerous homicides of gay men committed by their partners or ex-partners. These homicides are classified by the term intragender violence, or violence committed in the context of a relationship between people of the same sex. Reports of these crimes have led to public debate on how society and its institutions should respond to these homicides, which several commentators have likened to partner v…
The impact of media and NGOs on four European Parliament discourses about conflicts in the Middle East
There is empirical evidence of media influence on parliamentary agenda, especially when media coverage privileges conflict framing of reality and negativity. This article addresses the impact of media presence (traditional and social media) and NGOs on European parliamentary discussions about violent conflicts in the Middle East and their role during phases of escalation and pacification. The authors content analysed 7,633 minutes from debates in…
Sensacionalismo o servicio público en las informaciones sobre menores desaparecidos
Missing children pose to journalists the challenge of reporting on facts that offer high human interest, but this requires rigor and caution. Media coverage can exploit the emotional components of the event in order to increase the audience or it can cooperate with the investigation by facilitating citizen collaboration and avoiding speculation. This paper examines the key features in this kind of news and information for this article is drawn fr…
Mediatización y encuadres de campaña. Análisis comparado de la información de partidos y medios en las elecciones generales de 2015
This study compares the frames presented by four printed and online newspapers (El país, El mundo, Elconfidencial.com, and Eldiario.es) in their headlines with those adopted by the four largest political parties (PP, PSOE, Podemos and Ciudadanos) in the news releases published on their websites during the 2015 Spanish electoral campaign. Findings show that strategy and game frames clearly dominated not only news media discourse, but also the piec…
Voces católicas y propaganda movilizadora ante la Ley de Confesiones y Congregaciones Religiosas
The Religious Confessions and Congregations Law, adopted on May 17, 1933 by the Parliament of the Second Spanish Republic, forbade Church to continue practicing teaching. The measure aroused the indignation of many conservative actors: politicians, bishops and leaders of Catholic organizations. Their objective was the repeal of the law and, for that, they all devoted great efforts to promote the reaction of Catholics. This paper examines some of …
El periodismo católico contra las reformas republicanas sobre enseñanza (1931-1933)
The politicization of the press during the Second Spanish Republic was particularly strong among Catholic publications. ABC and El Debate, the two leading conservative newspapers during those years, were very active in the protests against the reforms on education. Their discourses joined in the propaganda of the reaction movement and strengthened collective action. This paper analyzes a sample of editorials and chronicles published by these news…
Símbolos y amenaza en el columnismo conservador
Este trabajo examina el modo en que el discurso de opinión de la prensa conservadora española emplea frecuentemente símbolos de intenso componente emocional para generar alarma y la movilización de los ciudadanos ante situaciones consideradas injustas. El análisis se realiza sobre las columnas que dos destacados articulistas publicaron entre 2004 y 2008 para opinar sobre la introducción de la asignatura Educación para la Ciudadanía. Los resultado…

Violent Conflicts and the New Mediatization
As key institutions in Western democracies, parliaments have gained importance regarding foreign affairs issues in recent years. Their increasing role as moral tribunes and discussion forums on conflict prevention and resolution have led to the parliamentarization of international affairs. The examination of the parliamentary agenda and the actors who shape it constitutes a fundamental part of agenda-setting studies as applied to the media and po…
