A study of digital news on public libraries is presented through media mapping and a thematic and consumption analysis based on Facebook interactions. A total of 7,629 digital news items published in 2019 have been considered. The media mapping includes the evolution of the volume of news publications, the most prominent media outlets and journalists, and the sections in which most news items are published. For the thematic and consumption analysis, the top 250 news items with the highest number of Facebook interactions are considered, defining 15 thematic categories. The most published topics include: new libraries and spaces, collections, and libraries from a historical perspective. The topics that generate the most interactions are the value of libraries (social, human, and cultural capital), libraries from other countries, and new libraries and spaces. The value and originality of the current study lie in the measurement of the consumption of news and digital media through Facebook interactions. The methods used and results obtained also provide new knowledge for the disciplines of Communication and Media Studies by developing the idea of media mapping for its application to other topics and media in future work, as well as for Librarianship, particularly the information obtained on public libraries. Resumen Se presenta un estudio de noticias digitales sobre bibliotecas públicas en España mediante un mapeo de medios y un análisis temático y de consumo basado en las interacciones en Facebook. Se han considerado 7.629 noticias publicadas en 2019. El mapeo de medios incluye la evolución del volumen de la publicación de noticias, los medios y periodistas más prominentes, y las secciones en las que más se publica. Para el análisis temático y de consumo se consideran las 250 noticias con mayores interacciones en Facebook definiendo 15 categorías temáticas. Los temas sobre los que más se publica son: nuevas bibliotecas y espacios, la colección y las bibliotecas desde la perspectiva de su historia. Los que más interacciones y consumo generan son: el valor de las bibliotecas (capital social, humano y cultural), bibliotecas de otros países y las nuevas bibliotecas y espacios. El valor y la originalidad del estudio consisten en considerar las interacciones en Facebook como medida del consumo de noticias y medios digitales. Los métodos y resultados alcanzados aportan además nuevo conocimiento para dos disciplinas: la comunicación y los medios de comunicación, por el desarrollo de la idea del mapeo de medios que puede aplicarse a otros temas y medios en futuros trabajos; y para la biblioteconomía y la documentación, por la información alcanzada sobre las bibliotecas públicas.

The study describes how Google has funnelled more than 200 million euro in cash gifts to European media since 2013, while at the same time the company has resisted political efforts in Europe to force it to share advertising revenue with ailing publishing houses. Google’s first fund was created in France in 2013 to appease publishers calling for a “Google tax” on digital advertising. This provided a template for the future, as the study’s analysis of the origins of the Google News Initiative shows. The study describes how Google’s attention and gifts have transformed the relationship between the Silicon Valley company and German publishing houses. Findings are based on anonymised interviews with 25 German media executives and journalists covering digital media, a data analysis of 645 projects funded by Google’s Digital News Initiative (DNI) in Europe between 2015 and 2019, as well as a survey on the use of Google tools among German media houses. The research is flanked by an interview with two key figures in Google’s European news division and supported by an in-depth analysis of source material on origins of Google’s journalism initiative. Of Google’s giving to media between 2015 and 2019, the bulk of the money went to long-established Western European publishers. Commercial publishing businesses account for 70 percent of Google’s funding within the Digital News Initiative. Only 9 percent of funding went to non-profit and public service media companies, with other funds going to research institutions, individuals and non-journalistic media start-ups. The median founding date of funded organisations is 1996, which shows Google’s funding favours incumbent companies. (The company says funding decisions are made by experts and industry leaders on the board of its News Initiative, but it hand-picks who sits on that board.) While Google is not transparent about funding figures for media, the study is able to drawn on a data gathered from publishers and publicly available information. Interviews with publishing executives show that while most of them were sceptical of Google’s motives and several interviewees described the company’s funding as a PR exercise, the money was often spent on key innovation projects within publishing houses. “Well, we wouldn’t have done it otherwise, because we simply can’t afford it”, one manager told the authors.

The article examines the emergence of the concept of “poverty” in the mid-2010s in two digital publications considered to be flagships of the “urban” lifestyle media in Russia – “The Afisha.Daily” and “The Village”. The coming into discourses on success and well-being (including the financial one) of a concept that is hardly associated with success and well-being looks like a significant departure from the сanon of lifestyle media, and therefore it is important for a closer study. The analysis is done within theoretical and methodological framework of cultural and media studies; a combination of discourse-analysis’ methods and techniques is addressed for work with digital media texts. The results obtained allowed to determine ways of constructing of “poverty” and to identify discursive strategies by which it is instrumentalized in the media under investigation.

ABSTRACTIn  recent  years,  experts  fromaround  the  world  have  warned  that  printed  newspapers  may  disappear  in  the  medium term. In some cases, even specific dates were given. The proliferation of digital media and the paradigma shift in our society are usually mentioned among the causes of this disappearance, especially when it comes to the media. Focusing particularly on the Spanish case, this paper offers an alternative vision, providing evidence that it’s not the first time a possible disappearance of printed newspapers is being discussed, that the Internet isn’t the main reason for the crisis hitting the sector, and that newspa-pers aren’t facing the worst crisis in thirty years. Although both printed newspapers and printed books could disappear in a still distant future, no concluding evidencepoints in that direction and this kind of statements are not to be recommended.RESUMENExpertos de todo el mundo han alertado en los últimos años sobre la posibilidad de que los periódicos impresos puedan desaparecer a medio plazo. Incluso en algunos casos se han llegado a dar fechas concretas. Entre las causas de esta desaparición se suele señalar la proliferación de los medios digitales y el cambio de paradigma al que nuestra sociedad se está enfrentando, sobre todo en lo relacionado a los medios de comunicación. En esta comunicación se ofrece una visión alternativa del problema, con datos que demuestran que, ni se trata de la primera vez que se habla de la posible desapari-ción de los periódicos impresos, ni Internet es el principal culpable de la crisis que atraviesa el sector, ni los periódicos se encuentran en su mayor crisis de los últimos treinta años, centrándonos especialmente en el caso español. Independiente-mente de que los periódicos impresos, como los libros impresos, puedan desaparecer en un futuro todavía lejano, no existen pruebas concluyentes que apunten en esa dirección ni que aconsejen a que se realicen este tipo de afirmaciones.

The current information ecosystem, crossed by a logic mediamorphosis, is increasingly generating the emergence of digital media and information portals that do not follow the formal publishing procedures of conventional media. The crisis of traditional media has also changed the way we become informed. However, information quality remains a factor for discussion in the absence of unified criteria for analysis. In this regard, the question arises: how do we evaluate and assess the quality of information in digital media? This study aims to seek agreement between academics and media professionals on the areas and dimensions of information quality of digital media according to objective or quantifiable values. For this, a taxonomy of the dimensions related to information quality was created, based on the review of scientific literature and further evaluated and validated by 40 experts, including scholars and media professionals alike, who focused on verifying the classification´s reliability. As a result, three macro areas of information quality, containing 21 areas, inherently comprised of a total of 75 dimensions, were validated. Lastly, this study proposes a structured model that will allow for the analysis of information quality of digital media, both in its pre-information phase catalogued in the media-business and on the media-workers’ socio-occupational characteristics, as well as its final product and informational content. El actual ecosistema informativo, atravesado por una lógica de mediamorfosis, está generando con avidez el surgimiento de medios digitales y portales informativos que no siguen los procedimientos editoriales formales de los medios convencionales. La crisis de los medios de comunicación tradicionales ha cambiado también nuestra forma de informarnos. Sin embargo, la calidad informativa sigue siendo un factor de discusión al no existir unidad de criterios para su análisis. En este sentido surge la pregunta ¿Cómo evaluar y valorar la calidad informativa de los medios digitales? Este trabajo contribuye a buscar convergencias entre académicos y profesionales de la comunicación sobre las áreas y dimensiones de la calidad informativa de los medios digitales en función de valores objetivos o cuantificables. Para ello se ha realizado una taxonomía de dimensiones de la calidad informativa a partir de la revisión de la literatura científica, para posteriormente someterlo a la evaluación y validación por juicio de 40 expertos, académicos y profesionales de la comunicación, para verificar su fiabilidad. Como resultado, quedaron validadas tres macroáreas de la calidad informativa, contentivas en 21 ámbitos que consideran intrínsecamente un total de 75 dimensiones. Esta investigación propone finalmente un modelo estructurado que permitirá analizar la calidad informativa de los medios digitales, tanto en su fase pre-informativa, catalogadas en el medio-empresa, las características sociolaborales de los trabajadores del medio, así como el producto final y el contenido informativo.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo apreender como a mídia digital brasileira apresenta e interpreta dados sobre as denuncias de violência contra o idoso. A hipótese que move o trabalho é que determinadas categorias de violência encontram-se tão naturalizadas que sequer são abordadas pelos veículos midiáticos, tecnologias reprodutoras do discurso que estereotipa a velhice. Realizada mediante análise das notícias publicadas sobre as denuncias de violência contra o idoso divulgadas pela World Wide Web, abrangeu um período de 10 anos retrospectivamente. Notamos que, apesar de inúmeros esforços e da existência de legislações e políticas, pouco divulgadas, há muito que avançar para que os idosos possam se considerar cidadãos e sujeitos de direito.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Idosos; Violência; Mídia; Estereótipos.   ABSTRACT This research aims to understand how the Brazilian digital media presents and interprets data on the allegations of violence against the elderly. The hypothesis that drives such work is that certain categories of violence are so naturalized that they are not even approached by the media outlets, reproductive technologies of a speech that stereotypes old age. Carried out by analysis of published news reports of violence against the elderly divulged on the World Wide Web, retrospectively covering a period of 10 years. We realize that, despite numerous efforts and the existence of laws and policies, underpublicized, there is much to be advanced so that the elderly can consider themselves proper citizens and subjects of law.   KEYWORDS: Elderly; Violence; Media; Stereotypes.   RESUMEN Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar cómo los medios digitales brasileños interpretan datos sobre denuncias de violencia contra las personas mayores. La hipótesis que mueve la obra es que ciertas categorías de violencia son tan naturalizadas que ni siquiera están cubiertos por los vehículos de los medios de comunicación, los quales reproducen discursos que estereotipan a la vejez. Fue realizada mediante la análisis de las noticias publicadas sobre las quejas de violencia contra las personas mayores publicado por la World Wide Web, cubrió un período de 10 años de manera retrospectiva. Observamos que, a pesar de numerosos esfuerzos y la existencia de leyes y políticas, poco publicitadas, hay mucho que caminar para que las personas mayores puedan ser ciudadanos y sujetos de derecho.   PALABRAS CLAVE: Ancianos; Violencia; Medios de comunicación; Estereotipos

The participation of readers in the creation of information products increases the value of the media and the satisfaction of co-creators. Such involvement of the public especially affects productive processes, although without ignoring their participation in development and marketing, and implies a democratization of information, personalized experiences, and diverse points of view that favor informative pluralism. In this research we analyze an international sample of five digital native newspapers to verify the extent to which they allow their audiences to co-create content. We use an exploratory methodology to verify the existence of spaces designed for co-creation and prepare evaluation scales for the level of utility of these sites and examine their accessibility from the perspective of citizen empowerment, openness of content, and web architecture. The results show that the degree of implementation achieved by newspapers is lower than may be expected for purely digital media and provide a warning about the need to devise new formulas for co-creation and involve audiences more in generating content, while also indicating the need to review in depth the role of readers as sources. The limitations on citizen empowerment that derive from the absence of advertising in business models restrict open access, while web hierarchies hamper collaboration. The need for citizens to clearly identify which products have been produced by journalists versus co-creators is also diagnosed. Resumen La participación de los usuarios en la creación de productos informativos aumenta el valor de los medios de comunicación e incrementa la satisfacción de los cocreadores. La involucración de los lectores afecta en especial a los procesos productivos, aunque sin desmerecer la implicación en el desarrollo y en el marketing, e implica democratización de la información, experiencias personalizadas y puntos de vista diversos que favorecen el pluralismo informativo. En esta investigación se analiza una muestra internacional compuesta por cinco diarios nativos digitales para comprobar en qué medida permiten a sus públicos cocrear contenidos. Se utiliza una metodología exploratoria para comprobar la existencia de espacios concebidos para la cocreación. Se confeccionan unas escalas de evaluación del grado de utilidad de la idoneidad de esos sitios y se examina su accesibilidad desde la perspectiva del empoderamiento ciudadano, la apertura de contenidos y la arquitectura web. Los resultados demuestran que los grados de implantación alcanzados por los diarios son más bajos de lo que pudiera esperarse de medios puramente digitales y alertan sobre la necesidad de idear nuevas fórmulas de cocreación e implicar más a las audiencias en la generación de contenidos, al tiempo que se hace necesario revisar con profundidad cuál es su papel como fuentes. Las limitaciones al empoderamiento ciudadano derivadas de la ausencia de publicidad en los modelos de negocio restringen los accesos en abierto y las jerarquías web obstaculizan las colaboraciones. Se diagnostica, asimismo, la necesidad de que los ciudadanos puedan identificar con claridad qué productos han sido elaborados por periodistas y cuáles por cocreadores.

Since 2002 the Media Studies Institute at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile is working with extremely poor children and adolescents in a public boarding school set in a rural area, with the purpose of teaching them how to be reporters. The method was designed to make students work in the process of media production, including experiences of their own reality and youth interests. Learning to be reporters teach children to use media as a pretext to develop better skills in thinking, teaching them to take decisions in the production process of creating messages. Desde el año 2002 el Instituto de Estudios Mediales de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile trabaja en la formación de niños y adolescentes reporteros con estudiantes de un internado rural en situación de extrema pobreza del sur del país. La metodología allí utilizada se diseñó con el objetivo que ellos experimenten con los medios de comunicación desde su propia realidad e intereses para que desarrollen habilidades superiores de pensamiento, por medio del ejercicio periodístico, del «reporteo » y de la toma de decisiones para la producción de los mensajes.
