Capítulo 3. Los debates de las elecciones generales de abril y noviembre de 2019
La comunicación política se presenta con frecuencia en los mismos términos que una competición deportiva.

Es en relación también con los debates y con las propias campañas que la mediatización de la política alcanza su máxima expresión. A pesar de ello, se trata de una oportunidad única en la qu…

Análisis de la rutina de la producción informativa sobre la guerra en Ucrania y la Guerra en Gaza en À Punt y TeleCinco
Las rutinas periodísticas en el actual contexto de sobreinformación han supuesto una sobrecarga de trabajo para los profesionales de los medios.

Este artículo aborda la cuestión sobre cómo los periodistas de los c…

The purpose of this work is to analyze the instrumentalization of fake information as an expression of the information media cris…

The institutions legitimising this form of protest have changed greatly in the 21st Century. They must recoup their ability to change things if they are to remain an effective tool. The following paper reveals the reasons behind the decline of strike…
