ResumenLa visibilidad de las relaciones homosexuales ha logrado un espacio considerable y una cobertura relativamente digna en los medios de comunicación social, tanto en contenidos informativos como de entretenimiento. Sin embargo, esta representación continúa sufriendo un tratamiento estigmatizador en determinados discursos periodísticos, que emplean el eufemismo como recurso para aludir a las parejas formadas por dos hombres o dos mujeres, sobre todo en noticias que abordan asuntos considerados especialmente sensibles o serios como las grandes tragedias o el fallecimiento de personas ilustres. Este trabajo, que pretende conocer qué consecuencias tiene esta práctica en las características propias de la información periodística, aplica el análisis del discurso y de la desigualdad para abordar este fenómeno a partir del estudio de un caso concreto: la cobertura de un trágico accidente aéreo en el que fallecieron dos hombres que mantenían una relación amorosa. La muestra está compuesta por medios de comunicación españoles, italianos y franceses. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que predominan los ejemplos en los que la relación gay aparece oculta o enmascarada bajo términos eufemísticos. Este hecho supone incoherencias en el mensaje de los medios, impide a los lectores una exacta comprensión de los hechos y confirma que el contexto cultural continúa privilegiando la sexualidad hegemónica en el espacio público.Palabras clave Discurso periodístico; obituarios; eufemismo; homosexualidad; veracidad; identidad.Abstract The visibility of homosexual relations has gained considerable space and relatively decent coverage in the media, in both the realms of news and entertainment. However, this representation continues to suffer from stigmatizing treatment in certain journalistic discourses, employing the euphemism as a resource to refer to same-sex couples, especially in news items that address issues considered particularly sensitive or serious such as great tragedies or the death of famous people. This work, which aims to identify the consequences of this practice in the characteristics of news reporting, applies discourse and inequality analysis to approach this phenomenon by means of a concrete case study: the coverage of a tragic plane crash that killed two men who were having an affair. The sample consisted of items from the Spanish, Italian and French media. The results show that the examples in which the gay relationship appears hidden or masked in euphemistic terms predominate. This fact leads to the message becoming incoherent, prevents readers from obtaining an accurate understanding of the facts and confirms that the cultural context continues to favor the hegemonic sexuality in the public domain.Keywords Journalistic discourse; obituaries; euphemism; homosexuality; veracity; identity.

ResumenLa saturación publicitaria es un hecho incontestable. Las marcas no saben cómo llegar al público y las agencias de publicidad buscan nuevas rutas para alcanzar a los consumidores. En esa búsqueda surgen las noticias creadas por las agencias de publicidad para conseguir impactos no pagados en los medios de comunicación. Los publicistas crean campañas originales que ahorran dinero a sus clientes y alcanzan a los públicos a través de las noticias. Los medios caen generalmente en la trampa. Sus programas informativos se quedan con la noticia fabricada con ese fin e ignoran que así su medio pierde los ingresos que antes llegaban como anuncios. Pero, sobre todo, cuentan como noticia lo que, disfrazado de información, en realidad no es más que una puesta en escena para vender una marca.AbstractThe advertising saturation is an indisputable fact. Brands don’t know how to reach the public and advertising agencies are looking for new avenues to reach consumers. In that search advertising agencies create news to get no paid impact on the media. Advertisers create original campaigns to their customers to save money and reach the public through the news. The media generally fall into the trick. Its news programs take the news made exclusively for this purpose and ignore that their enviorement lose advertising revenue that came before as advertisements. But what is more important, the media tell as news what, information disguised is nothing but pure fabrication to sell a brand.Palabras claveNoticia, publicidad encubierta, informativos, saturaciónKeywordsNews, hidden advertising, news programs, saturation

Film education in the digital age should be based on three closely-related and complementary fundamentals: to see, to analyze and to make films with young people; three basics that must interact and support each other. The concept of creative analysis could be the glue the binds this subject together, making it coherent and efficient for educational purposes. If cinema is an art, it is above all the art of memory, both individual and collective. This article suggests that we can join the pedagogy of film education to the citizen’s desire to perpetuate memory and preserve cultural heritage. The author describes various types of films to prove this hypothesis, and at the same time indicates the economic and cultural dimension of the media. The essay starts with an approach to film education in the digital age. Later, it analyzes certain aspects of films of memory, referring specifically to the typology of standpoints of film-makers and the treatment of their sources. Lastly, there is a reflection on the convergence of the concept of creative analysis, promoted by film education, and the production of videos by young people dedicated to the individual or collective memory. This convergence matches European Union proposals concerning the production and creation of audiovisual media from this viewpoint. La educación para el cine en la era digital debería apoyarse en tres polos complementarios y estrechamente asociados: ver, analizar y hacer películas con jóvenes. Estos tres polos han de potenciarse mutuamente. El concepto de análisis creativo podría ser la argamasa que diera coherencia y eficiencia al dispositivo educativo. Si el cine es un arte, es sobre todo el arte de la memoria, tanto colectiva como individual. Este artículo sugiere que es posible hacer converger la pedagogía de la educación cinematográfica y la voluntad ciudadana de perpetuar la memoria, al tiempo que se protege el patrimonio cultural. El autor propone una serie de películas para ilustrar estos planteamientos, que ponen de relieve la dimensión económica y cultural de los medios de comunicación, respondiendo en esta convergencia a las más recientes directrices de la Unión Europea sobre creación y producción, desde esta perspectiva, de medios audiovisuales. El trabajo se inicia con una aproximación a la educación para el cine en la era digital. Posteriormente se recogen algunas singularidades de las «películas de la memoria», aludiendo concretamente a la tipología de los puntos de vista de los realizadores y al tratamiento de sus fuentes. Por último, se refleja el encuentro entre el concepto de «análisis creativo», fomentado por la educación cinematográfica, y la realización de videogramas hechos por jóvenes y dedicados a la memoria individual o colectiva.

In February 2020, the Bulgarian government established the National Operational Headquarters for Combating the COVID-19 Pandemic in Bulgaria. General Ventsislav Mutafchiyski, a military doctor, professor at the Military Medical Academy in Sofia, was appointed as its chairman. This paper presents a case study on the public image of Ventsislav Mutafchiyski, its readings and interpretations by the audience, and the specific fan culture that emerged around his media persona during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria. Placed in the spotlight of the media at the very beginning of the crisis, Mutafchiyski became extremely popular as the public figure most strongly associated with the fight against the spread of the disease in the country. Around his media persona, shaped in the public imagination as a wartime leader, a fan culture has grown with all its characteristic features and dimensions: fans and anti-fans, affirmative and transformative fandom. As a fictional character, Mutafchiyski has appeared in numerous forms of vernacular creativity: poems, songs, material objects, jokes, fake news, conspiracy theories, and memes. In this way, the General has become the main character of Bulgarian pandemic folklore and the focal point of a participatory pandemic.

The article presents the study of the media image of China in the Russian Internet texts. The purpose of the study is to identify the language means of shaping the media image of China in blogs about Chinese opera. The material involves some of the topical blogs published on the Internet version of «Live Journal» and the «Magazeta». In those materials, the media image of China is partially formed by various aspects of Chinese opera as a cultural phenomenon: it is the cultural context in which Chinese opera exists; features of diverse opera genres; images of performers; audience responses; assessments and feelings of bloggers. The possibilities of expression of different kinds of language means are revealed, so is the authors’ perception of this type of art. It is concluded that the media image created in blogs about Chinese opera by various language means represents China as a country with a long history and unique culture. Chinese opera not only occupies an important place in the world art, but also vividly and meaningfully reflects the mystery of China.

This commentary is both a case study of the evolution of one public intellectual, and an analysis of how he has broadened his voice beyond the standard academic bubble. His story gives a perspective on the question of, “How do public intellectuals get their start?” They almost certainly begin as “mere” intellectuals — the public part comes later. But how? How does a studious academic go from following the media to being part of the media?

Resumen: Los medios de comunicación tienen una responsabilidad indiscutible en la defensa y promoción de los Derechos Humanos. Más aún: tiene la obligatoriedad moral y ética de proporcionar informaciones basadas en la verdad y la objetividad. ¿Qué ocurre con los medios de comunicación en las dictaduras donde se ejerce de manera sistemática la violación de Derechos Humanos? ¿Qué responsabilidad social tienen estos en el sustento y pervivencia de las dictaduras? Este artículo ahonda en esta cuestión a propósito de un estudio de caso, el de la desaparición de la joven chilena Marta Hugarte durante la Dictadura del general Pinochet. Abstract: The Mass Media have an unquestionable responsibility in the defense and promotion of Human Rights. Moreover, they have the moral and ethical obligation to provide information based on truth and objectivity. What happens with the Media in dictatorships where the violation of Human Rights is systematically practiced? What social responsibility do these have in the sustenance and survival of dictatorships? This article delves into this question with regard to a case study, the disappearance of the young Chilean Marta Hugarte during the dictatorship of General Pinochet.

From asymmetric dependency to discursive disengagement: How social movements and the media/public talked past each other

Social movement-media/public interaction has been largely examined from the lens of “asymmetric dependency” in which both movements’ representation and self-understanding are mainly shaped by their media and public opinion environment. The introduction of digital technologies, however, has diversified this discursive environment and seemed to reverse the uneven dynamics. Using a case study of a protest campaign organized by Chinese American immigrants, this study demonstrates a new pattern of movement-media/public dynamics that goes beyond the “asymmetric dependency” model or its obverse. In the aftermath of a Chinese American police officer who shot a black man to death, Chinese immigrants stood with him and deliberated on WeChat, a China-based digital platform engineered like a “walled garden.” The technolinguistic enclosure of the platform facilitated the development of a separate interpretative universe in the WeChatsphere vis-à-vis the one in the mediasphere. Later, even when immigrant protesters confronted the public in the Twittersphere, they continued talking past each other. By unpacking the decoupling processes between movements and the media/public, this study shifts the research focus from understanding their interaction to examining their disengagement, as well as the “filter bubble” effects that contribute to contemporary fragmentation and polarization in political and civic engagements.

This article aims to outline the positive assessments made by the public, through the service of the Catalan Women’s Institute (ICD) on speeches containing media representations of gender. It is a way to illustrate how the products of cultural industries are part of the audience’s social imaginary and how it is able to identify and assess constructive representations of gender. The media and audience as agents of social change suggest ways of teaching on gender issues. Finally, the text encourages us to think about the possibility of creating and enhancing educational strategies to form a critical audience that generates proposals, guidelines, a discourse on gender according to social reality.Este trabajo tiene como objetivo describir las valoraciones positivas realizadas por la ciudadanía a través del servicio del Instituto Catalán de las Mujeres (ICD) sobre los discursos mediáticos que contienen representaciones de género. Es una forma de ilustrar cómo los productos de las industrias culturales forman parte del imaginario social de la audiencia y cómo ésta es capaz de identificar, valorar, las representaciones constructivas de género. Los medios de comunicación y la audiencia como agentes sociales de cambio sugieren vías pedagógicas sobre cuestiones de género. Finalmente, el texto nos anima a pensar en la posibilidad de crear y potenciar estrategias educativas para formar una audiencia crítica que genere propuestas, pautas, sobre un discurso de género acorde a la realidad social.
