Introduction: The main objective of this paper is to analyse the relevance that Spanish digital newspapers grant to the struggles of a part of the Spanish population to access a sufficient nutrition. Concepts like hidden hunger and food accessibility are used to understand this. Methodology: the contents published in 2017 by our digital mastheads (elpais.com, lavanguardia.com, abc.es and eldiario.es) were analysed by means of content analysis and the framing theory. Results and conclusions: The findings of this study disclose the complexity of the subject and the diversity of framings: Solidarity, Hunger/ Famine, Waste and Access. Likewise, a translation from the international to the national scope is confirmed. The hunger in Spain is a "hidden hunger" and it is constructed as a problem that impacts "disadvantaged" individuals, faceless, where causes are generally avoided, and the solutions are monopolised by supportive initiatives.

This paper shows the most relevant conclusions of the research: "The informative image in online media: newspaper, radio and television". Firstly, the author presents the theory and methodology employed and them she describes how they are applied to a sample collected in 2004. This consisted of 311 images from online editions of newspaper La Vanguardia, El País and El Mundo; the radio stations Cadena Ser, Onda Cero, COPE, as well as broadcasters Antena 3 and Telecinco. Finally it explores how the object of study has changed and developed until 2008 and its possible lines of research. One of the main conclusions is that the modular design of the pages undermines the visual message. The presentation is homogeneous and the edition of the images is sharp to adjust them to fixed sizes. Authors have become anonymous, whereas news agencies have become the main suppliers of images.

According to public opinion the increasing number of foreign population has became one of the most problematic issues in the last decade. Since 2005 immigration is the second biggest concern for Spaniards after unemployment and followed by terrorism. It is has became a state issue and a central government worry of utmost importance. The media coverage given to immigration is very important, specifically the way in which it is approached and presented to the readers. This paper shows the different perspectives or frames used by two key nationwide Spanish newspapers, El País y El Mundo, to cover one of the migration crises that took place in the Canary Islands in spring 2006. Following Framing theory, media content has been analyzed using variables to show the different ways in which these media depict the phenomenon of migration and the approach which each newspaper follows.
