Disinformation on the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine War: Two sides of the same coin
Recently, Europe has been embroiled in serious disinformation crises. In 2020, the WHO declared the term “infodemic” due to the massive increase in hoaxes about the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was dubbed the first digital world war. In this context, this research aims to establish similarities and differences between disinformation disseminated in Europe related to the pandemic during 2020–2021 and the war between Rus…

La desinformación es uno de los grandes desafíos para Europa. En los últimos años, el continente europeo en general y la Unión Europea (UE) en particular vienen sufriendo diferentes campañas desinformativas: como la que llevó a Reino Unido a la salida de la UE; la doble pandemia sanitaria y desinformativa; o la estrategia híbrida de propaganda tras la invasión rusa en Ucrania. En dicho contexto, el fallecimiento de la reina Isabel II de Inglaterr…

Populism, cyberdemocracy and disinformation: Analysis of the social media strategies of the French extreme right in the 2014 and 2019 European elections
Since the European elections in 2014, the populist formations had been increasing the shares of power that their masses finally claimed in the May 2019 elections. In the case of France, this rise of the Rassemblement National has even given rise to a new political regime: the Europeanism of Macron vs. the Euroscepticism of Le Pen. This paper aims to delve into the communication strategy of the latter formation, to see how it has been able to shif…

Extrema derecha europea en Twitter. Análisis de la estrategia comunicativa de Vox y Lega durante las elecciones europeas de 2014 y 2019
Durante los últimos tres lustros, la imagen de la Unión Europea (UE) se ha visto fuertemente debilitada. Tras la denominada policrisis - crisis del euro (2008), refugiados (2015) y Brexit (2016) - la organización supranacional se enfrenta al significativo auge de partidos euroescépticos y populistas, predominantemente de derechas, que han surgido en sus países miembro. Entre ellos, Lega en Italia o Vox en España demuestran dicha tendencia al alza…
EU digital communication strategy during the Covid-19 vaccination campaign: Framing, contents and attributed roles at stake
If in recent years the European Union (EU) has had to face complex and multifactorial “poly-crises” (such as Brexit, refugees or the euro), the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has been an unprecedented event on a global scale with important implications at all levels. Indeed, it has reinforced public health issues aimed at protecting the population as nodal elements of the policies implemented by this organization. This research aims to analyze the d…
Marcos comunicativos en la estrategia online de los partidos políticos europeos durante la crisis del coronavirus: Una mirada poliédrica a la extrema derecha
The current debate in the academic sphere regarding the role of extreme right-wing parties during the coronavirus pandemic extends to its communicative aspect. While some authors argue that these parties have focused their messages on the perspectives of fear, the threat represented by immigrants, or conspiracies in an unsuccessful way, even considering them to be the “losers of the crisis,” others emphasize their ability to build a sense of comm…

Estrategia de comunicación organizacional en redes sociales: Análisis electoral de la extrema derecha francesa en Twitter
Since the 2014 European elections, populist organizations have been gaining a share of power, as finally ratified by their voters in May 2019. In the case of France, the rise of National Rally (NR) is, partially, due to a change of its communication strategy. In particular, in its online strategy framework for the European elections, a total of 1,256 tweets published by its official Twitter account during the 15-day electoral campaigns in 2014 an…
Actores Europeos y Desinformación: La disputa entre el factchecking, las agendas alternativas y la geopolítica

Therefore, EU institutions have developed a series of initiatives throughout 2018 to define a European strategy to counter disinformation that emphasizes the responsibility of social networks in reporting false content. In addition, given the weakness of the European public sphere, the European institutions support the cre…

At a Crossroads or Caught in the Crossfire: Crime coverage concerns for democracy in Portugal, Spain, and Italy
This study of crime reporting shows that keeping crime records secret hurts democratic consolidation. While many reporters and journalism experts interviewed claimed to value the presumption of innocence, at the same time, many skirted legal restrictions and ethical codes. Police and prosecutors supplied leaks, and reporters sought further information from witnesses. This porous secrecy leads to publication of rumors and unreliable eye-witness ac…
Sports and Politics in Spain – Football and Nationalist Attitudes within the Basque Country and Catalonia
Nowadays, basing ourselves on the perspective of the ongoing process of globalisation, the mutual interaction between sports and both sociological and political dimensions cannot be denied. Currently, football is the global and widespread sport. Indeed, it has practically turned into a religion and has become a strong national identity builder in many countries (mainly in South America, Africa and parts of Europe). It is also the most important s…
