The philosophers of the Illustration strained for defining the concept of «civil society», and came to the conclusion that this one was composed by the citizens’ associations that defended their interests out of the habitual politics. Nowadays, the civil society is made up by the not governmental organizations (NGO) and by the internationals organizations (for example, UNO), far from the economic profit that the market persecutes. The mass media have the force of changing the world and, because of it, the ONU and the NGO strain for creating programs that manage to put the mass media to the service of the civil society. Here are exposed the programs IPDC, the actions PNUD and the campaigns NetAid and CRIS. Los filósofos de la Ilustración se esforzaron por definir el concepto de «sociedad civil», y llegaron a la conclusión de que ésta estaba compuesta por las asociaciones de ciudadanos que defendían sus intereses fuera de los cauces habituales de la política. Actualmente, la sociedad civil está formada por las organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) y por los organismos internacionales (por ejemplo, la ONU), alejados de la ganancia económica que persigue el mercado. Los medios de comunicación tienen la fuerza de cambiar el mundo y, por eso, la ONU y las ONG se esfuerzan por crear programas que consigan poner a los medios de comunicación al servicio de la sociedad civil. Aquí aparecen expuestos los programas IPDC, las acciones PNUD y las campañas NetAid y CRIS.

The Mass Media

This article gives a detailed account of one of the topical issues of modern integrative linguistic stylistics, i.e., substantiation of the content of the latest concepts that are formed within the interrelated disciplines. Attention is specifically paid to the terms media stylistics, verbal and linguocultural content of the media. The author elaborates on the concept of linguocultural content of the media text interpreting it as linguistic and aesthetic signs of culture, components of linguistic and informational pictures of the world, i.e., a value-content meaning of the mass media which unfolds and concretizes the general and nationally marked concepts, and as a regular manifestation of the language norm. The data of the magazine A Woman shows that the verbal content is a significant, specific segment of the functioning of the modern Ukrainian literary language in the media space. It reflects the universal stratification of the language of national professional, social, every day, and artistic culture, the synergy of its mediatopes and media genres, broadcasts a hierarchy of social (socio-political, gender), psychological and economic stereotypes, and human needs. They are all united by the Ukrainian-centric linguocultural platform which consists of both value-semantic signs of culture and structural-level units of the literary-linguistic continuum. In terms of media stylistics, the language of Ukrainian-language media is analyzed in two complementary perspectives: 1) via metaphorical-associative field structures with specific core nominations; 2) via the principles of realization of the media structural-level norm in the mass media. Keywords: media stylistics, verbal content, linguocultural indicator of value, metaphorical-associative field, language norm, sign of culture.

LABURPENA: Lan hau komunikabideen eta ustelkeria politikoaren arteko harremanei buruzkoa da. Lanaren estrategia komunikabideek gobernatzaileen eta gobernatuen arteko harremanak hedatzeko bitarteko aktiboak bezala duten jarrera agertzea da, hau da, komunikabideek ustelkeriari buruz emandako informazioa izan ez dadin prentsaren jatorrietatik datorren ataza soila, hots, askatasun publikoen eta gobernu onaren watchdog or atari-txakur lana. Gauzak horrela, komunikabideak aktore politikoak dira, interes partikularrak dituzte eta egitateekiko elkarrekintza dute, eta egitate horiei garrantzia ematen diete (edo ez), interesen arabera. Ustelkeria politikoko eskandaluak kazetaritzako argitan, komunikabideen enpresen interesen arabera eta sistema politikoaren eta komunikabide sistemaren arteko harremanak kontuan izanda aztertu behar dira. Horrela soilik ahal izango diogu lana honen funtsari ekin, alegia: zer egin dezakete komunikabideek demokraziaren kalitatea handitzeko, hau da, ustelkeria politikoa bertatik erauzi edo, gutxienez, mugatzeko? RESUMEN: El presente trabajo es un estudio crítico sobre la relación existente entre medios de comunicación y corrupción política. La estrategia del mismo consiste en desvelar la posición de los medios de comunicación como mediatizadores activos de la relación entre gobernantes y gobernados, de manera que la información sobre corrupción producida por los medios no se vea como el mero cumplimiento de una tarea asignada desde sus orígenes ilustrados a la prensa, a saber, su labor de watchdog o perro guardián de las libertades públicas y del buen gobierno. Vistas así las cosas, los medios se configuran como actores políticos con intereses particulares que interaccionan con los hechos y a los que confieren (o no) la entidad de noticiables en grados diversos. Los escándalos de corrupción política deben estudiarse a la luz de las narrativas periodísticas, a la luz de los condicionamientos empresariales de los medios y a la luz de la configuración de las relaciones entre el sistema político y el sistema mediático. Sólo así podremos encarar la cuestión de fondo que se plantea al final de este trabajo y que pregunta qué pueden hacer los medios de comunicación para acrecentar la calidad de la democracia extirpando o al menos limitando en ella la corrupción política. ABSTRACT: This work is a critical analysis about the relationship between mass media and political corruption. Its strategy is to unveil the mass media position as an activ mediator in the relationship between governers and governeds so that information about corruption by the media cannot be seen as the simple fullfilment of an assigned task to the press since its Enlightment origins, i.e. their job of watchdog or guard dog for public liberties and good governance. As things stand, mass media are configured as political actors with particular interests that interact with facts to which the give (or not) a gradual entity of political newsworthiness. The scandals of political corruption should be studied in the light of journalistic narratives, corporate constraints of the mass media and the setting of relationships among the political and the media system. Only this way we will be able to face the underlying issue that arises at the end of this work and that questions what mass media can do in order to improve the quality of democracy by removing or at least constraining within the political corruption.

The emergence of the media as a complementary school parallel to schools, invites the educational community to rethink about the most effective way to integrate media into the school curriculum in order to encourage and help students in their education. Through this relationship among mass media reality and students themselves, schools arises as the key where offering a correct media interpretation. La aparición de los medios de comunicación como «escuela» complementaria de formación, paralela a los centros escolares, invita a la comunidad educativa a replantearse la manera más efectiva de integrarlos en el currículum escolar con el fin de ayudar al alumno en su proceso de formación. De esta relación de los medios de comunicación con la realidad y los propios alumnos se desprende la necesidad de ofrecer, desde la escuela, claves para su correcta interpretación.

The authors begin by providing the historical and social background of Korean media education, which has its roots in civil participation activities in the 1980s. Then, they discuss the legal and governmental policies on media education, focusing on the Broadcasting Act and the diverse programs provided by governmental organizations, particularly those under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. They also provide good examples of media education practices by groups of teachers, civil society associations and the media industry, in addition to introducing the recent changes in the newly reformed National Curriculum, which includes some elements of media literacy. They conclude by pointing out the need for a more consistent policy on media literacy and a forum to activate discussion on the topic. Los autores parten de los antecedentes históricos y sociales de la educación en medios coreana, la cual tiene sus raíces en actividades de participación civil en los ochenta. Luego, discuten las políticas legales y gubernamentales en educación en medios, fijando su atención en el Acta de Difusión y los diversos programas elaborados por organizaciones gubernamentales, particularmente aquéllas bajo el Ministerio de Cultura. También brindan buenos ejemplos de prácticas de educación en medios por grupos de educadores, asociaciones de la sociedad civil y la industria mediática, además de presentar los últimos cambios en el recién reformado Plan de Estudios Nacional, el cual incluye algunos elementos de alfabetización mediática. Concluyen señalando la necesidad de una política más consistente en alfabetización mediática y un foro para activar la discusión sobre el tema.

The objective of this study is to explore the presence of Spanish think tanks in national and international media based on a quantitative analysis of content published on 70 think tanks over 15 years (2004-2018). The published content was obtained through Factiva®, a database from Dow Jones & Company, that provides access to more than 35,000 mass media around the world. The results suggest that the representation of think tanks in the media has gradually increased over the years, regardless of the economic cycle or political situation, quadrupling over the analyzed period. Moreover, an increase of the hegemony of a few think tanks in the grouping of messages on the public debate and their concentration in a few media and media agencies are confirmed.

Los contenidos publicados se han obtenido mediante Factiva®, una base de datos de Dow Jones & Company que proporciona acceso a más de 35.000 medios de comunicación de todo el mundo. Los resultados sugieren que la representación mediática de los think tanks aumenta gradualmente a lo largo de los años, con independencia del ciclo económico y de la situación política, llegando a cuadriplicar su presencia en el período analizado. Del mismo modo, se confirma la existencia de un incremento de la hegemonía de unos pocos think tanks en la agrupación de mensajes del debate público y su concentración en torno a unos pocos medios y agencias de medios.
