ICTs have rethought society in all its forms of action and confront the media, this has led to a period of transformation and reinvention within the radio industry to adapt to the technological evolution of audiences, establish routes and set a Action field. Case study that was developed with a mixed methodology that allowed us to characterize the media's actions in the digital ecosystem (web-radio, app-radio and social networks), its new business model and productive routines. It is concluded that broadcasters in their process of digital culturalization strategically in their work propose an analog-digital bifurcation to capture the attention of the public from multiple consumption alternatives.

Trusting the audience to contribute data, a practice called crowdsourcing, is one of several procedures of contemporary data journalism. While previous research has embraced the idea of crowdsourcing as a transparent way of engaging the audience, the journalistic practice of crowdsourcing is currently still limited. The Spanish case is particularly illuminating of the gap between theoretical expectations and reality. Although online news media in Spain stands out because of its commitment to exploring interactive possibilities, and its audience is especially prone to comment on news, this qualitative study presents evidence that Spanish data journalists remain quite reluctant to embrace crowdsourcing as a research method. Based on semi-structured interviews with five Spanish data journalists, this paper explains the motivations behind this reluctance as well as the challenges of activating the audience.

This article disseminates the results of a research aimed at analyzing social media teams and the strategies developed by Spanish, native and emigrated digital newspapers in this field. A closed questionnaire has been passed and qualitative interviews have been done with the media strategists. It is an exploratory research oriented to know the work of the strategist in social media, as well as the characteristics of their teams, their training and tasks, the support and participation of the management and media writers in the strategy and main characteristics of it. The results show that while the emigrated newspapers have more elaborate strategies in terms of the number of profiles and social media in which they have a presence, the natives have management teams and management teams whose support and action in social media has a more positive result in the implementation of the strategy.

Nuclear power plants need good external communication systems to become an informative reference on their activity, and to convince the general public about the feasibility of this energy bet. This article proposes a web analysis model for nuclear power plants and examines the websites of atomic power stations in Spain: What are their main characteristics, and at what points can they improve to achieve their informative objective?

Juana Rivas case has been a new point of reference in media coverage of gender violence. During the summer of 2017, the media focused on the story of this woman and her children. The circumstances and peculiarities of the case led to multiple news items and conflicting opinion articles. This analysis aims to analyze part of this information through its impact on the social network Twitter, as a channel for dissemination and learning of cyberfeminism. The conclusions reveal that in various circumstances the media failed to comply with precise legislative norms and informative recommendations on gender violence in Spain.

This article reflects on two processes of appropriation and media management with a social sense, which are founded upon the recognition of communication processes and their impact on the transformations of peripheral environments by empowered communities and the emancipated agents of communicative mediation. Two experiences of social communication are taken as a reference, which respond to divergent scenarios: On the one hand, that from Project Barrio U´s volunteers who work within the framework of the University of Antioquia´s extension program is considered, as it offers an academic field of professional training in social communication. On the other hand, the initiative named Barrio Revealing (Revelando Barrio), from the Ciudad Comuna communication group, whose emphasis rests on community communication. These two experiences highlight the importance of the role of subjects in the processes of appropriation and management of media with a social sense and they allow the recognition of the communication processes that bring about the transformation of the subjectivities of the mediating actors (community communicator, volunteer) and the emergence of communicative territoriality.

This article presents the results of an investigation based on a critical analysis of the discourse on the Amazonian conflict of 2009 in Peru called “Baguazo” by the media. The research project examines how the journalistic television discourses in Peru represent indigenous peoples of the Amazon region during the conflict. The structures and strategies of public verbal discourse on the conflict in Bagua are analyzed from a social, political and critical perspective to understand how power is established, legitimated, exercised, or resisted during an ethnic-social conflict. A combination of multiple methodological tools were selected, focusing on the analysis of social actors, social action, time, legitimacy and framing, in a sample of journalistic television interviews considered politically important cases. The research exposes how the dominant discourse of the interviews constructs a negative image of the Amazonian indigenous peoples and supports the official discourse of the Peruvian State regarding the Amazonian conflict.

This work is born of the concern of the members of the project, the lack of presence of indigenous people and Afro-descendants in the newscast of Ecuadorian television, as well as the perception that the representatives of these races have for the stereotypes attributed to them, especially in the sitcoms. All of this, despite the fact that the Organic Communication Law prohibits discrimination. The Law is also inclusive and promotes multiculturalism and plurinationality at all levels. The methodology used for this research was the Critical Analysis of the Discourse of Perceived Discrimination, based on the taxonomy elaborated by the Australian scientist David Mellor. To do this, It was interviewed a non-probabilistic sample of convenience, of Afro-descendant and indigenous people, from the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador (with a questionnaire of open questions).

In February 2017, the first cyber-ballots of a binding nature were registered in Madrid, that is, those in which the neighbors made binding decisions for the city council. They chose the design that will have the new Plaza de España, one of the most emblematic of the city, and agreed to the creation of a single transport ticket that would allow changing media without paying again for ninety minutes. This was channeled through the portal "Decide Madrid" (https://decide.madrid.es/). The person in charge of that space affirms that the new technologies allow to transfer to the represented ones a quota of the power of the representatives. However, the Madrid promise already shows its first limitations: the creation of the single ticket exceeds the responsibility of the Madrid City Council and involves another institution, the Community of Madrid, which is not obliged to execute the citizens' decision.

The purpose of this work is to propose to the Media a solution to create, in a simple and low investment way, a Big Data application that allows to have an instrument of historical analysis of the Droughts associated with the impact on Public Health, with the purpose of generating rigorous content capable of influencing the behavior of the public through awareness prevention campaign. Once the application is implemented, it can be reused without additional costs since the structure is already working, to manage any other information content that is relevant to create a sustainable Society.
