In this paper we deal with the current situation of the radio broadcasting regulations in Spain, as a consequence of the changes experienced in the last 40 years in laws, in  administrative organisation and  in minor legal doctrine related to radio broadcasting.   To this end,   laws related to the companies themselves, to the radiobroadcasting as part of the Mass Media and to the message disseminated by radio broadcasting are tackled, including aspects such as the political propaganda on the radio, a constant concern in recent years in which Spain has been experiencing politically turbulent times, with a succession of general and regional elections coming up in the near future.  Those three aspects –the radio stations companies, the radio as Mass Media & the radio messages- have undergone technological and management changes that have made legal changes necessary to happen; new legal principles must inspire radio broadcasting, which means deepening the constitutional values and principles that unite us, facilitating our coexistence as a nation.  Telecommunications regulations also make their presence felt, which apply to operators who provide media technology. Technological changes have led to a conceptual shift in broadcasting from "public service" to "service of public interest".   

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda address climate issues and environmental degradation. Their communication has grown on social media in the wake of COVID-19, with climate awareness promoting change with in-home micro-actions. This research focuses on the tiktokers that publish in Spanish, with the hashtag #sostenibilidad, and which are the most important two years after the official declaration of the pandemic (11 March 2022). The fundamental hypothesis is that micro-actions, in these audio-visual pills or short videos, can be the beginning of a new way of raising environmental awareness in social networks. The methodology contains four correlative steps: search for hashtags, quantitative analysis in TikTok, search for the 10 most successful and engaged accounts, and their descriptive content analysis. The results show that the 10 most successful accounts are female and only 3 of these creators have more than 100,000 followers, although 6 of them have more than 1 million "Likes". They are young, get high engagement rates, higher than Instagram and Twitter, and prove that you can be an influencer without being on several social networks at the same time.

The year 2019 is a turning point in the fight against climate change. Civil society has placed this problem at the focus of the media agenda, leading to significant changes in its reporting. In our study we analyze the capacity of adaptation of Spanish newspapers to these new circumstances, and we check if they have learnt how to take advantage of this moment of high attention to overcome the disadvantages that the representation of the climate change entails, such as proximity and contextualization. To this end, we propose a content analysis focused on the study of information complements, as they have a great capacity for dissemination, taking into account multimedia elements, hyperlinks and recommended texts. The results show an evolution in the journalistic treatment, according with the creative proposals promoted from the international field, so we can point out that the year 2019 seems to have given birth to a new way of doing journalism, closer and more responsible.

This paper analyzes the use and usefulness of Virtual Reality (VR) in the coverage of natural disasters, taking as an object of analysis the specific case of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma. A natural disaster caused an emergency situation on September 19, 2021, and lasted for 85 days. This research aims to analyze the treatment and dissemination that the program 'Una Hora Menos' of Radio Televisión Canaria (RTVC), broadcast from Monday to Friday at 21.30 hours, dispensed to it. I will also focus on the social repercussion generated by the use of VR in the representation of the communication of the disaster, as well as the perception of the public opinion through the messages broadcasted in the social network Twitter.

This article analyzes 142 news stories in the Mexican written press about femicide and Covid-19. The objective is to identify the classifications and types of information sources concerning the manner in which the press approached the issue during the first year of the pandemic. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used through content analysis. The result led to four main categories: femicide statistics, the role of the authorities, civil manifestations, and the pandemic of violence. It was identified that the classifications with the highest frequency were those related to femicide statistics and the inaction on the part of the authorities. “El Universal” and “Reforma” frequently dealt with what the figures told, while “La Jornada” had greater coverage on the pandemic of violence. The results showed more heterogeneity in the subcategories by newspaper. Official sources proliferated, while private or family sources appeared to a lesser extent.

The lack of science on the Spanish TV is explained through the people responsible for content production, scheduling and offer. Two focus groups made up of five decision-makers identified the professionals’ opinions: science on TV is needed, the function of televisual science is educating audiences, public channels are responsible for showing such contents, government should urge scientific programming, science on TV contributes in increasing the cultural level of audiences, and people holding power positions are not interested in improving society´s level of literacy. Later, the generality of those opinions was measured through a questionnaire applied to 450 TV managers. A latent profile statistical analysis showed that individual characteristics of professionals (i.e., gender, age, educational level) do not play a role in shaping their opinions but work related (i.e., area of coverage, TV ownership) do.

The present investigation describes the working conditions of journalists from the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, according to their own perceptions. The theoretical perspective focuses the background of the topic by emphasizing the risk of practicing the profession. It uses a descriptive, non-experimental, transactional quantitative methodology and applies a questionnaire stratifying the main cities of the state. The results allow establishing that the journalists of the entity, in general, are satisfied with their working conditions although their salaries and benefits are below average.

A governança pública busca um novo arranjo entre governo e sociedade, onde ambos buscam dialogar e alcançar resultados efetivos na prestação dos serviços públicos. A gestão em saúde envolve a gerência de redes, esferas públicas de saúde, hospitais, laboratórios, clínicas e demais instituições que realizam serviços de saúde. A gestão pública hospitalar tem papel importante no que se refere à disponibilização de recursos materiais, tanto físicos quanto humanos, para distribuí-los de forma adequada, cuidando das ações e resultados, que pode acarretar importantes impactos para a assistência hospitalar a fim de integrar competências e potencializar resultados. Nesse sentido objetivou-se identificar e descrever os modos de governança/gestão pública dos hospitais de ensino do Rio Grande do Sul. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo exploratório de abordagem qualitativa, com base nos dados secundários de abrangência pública, a partir dos hospitais de ensino da região Sul do Brasil, especificamente do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Identificou-se que os hospitais analisados são gerenciados pela Rede Ebserh. A referida rede, por meio da governança corporativa desenvolve objetivos estratégicos que indicam a direção em que a organização deve seguir como subsidio ao alcance da visão de futuro, por meio dos pilares da estratégia: sociedade; sustentabilidade; governança; processos e tecnologia; pessoas. Desde 2014, estes hospitais definem sua estratégia por meio da elaboração de Planos Diretores Estratégicos que padronizam a forma de identificar os desafios de gestão e criar estratégias para transpô-los, apresentando-se como um avanço na gestão da estratégia das unidades hospitalares.
